If Steve lives until you are 62 yourself, the Reverse Mortgage would do it. Don't know if there is a limit on size of Reverse Mortgages, though. Your property sounds like it is over a million. Of course, adjusted for inflation that is only 10K in real money, perhaps less. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
