Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1986, vol. 02, issue 2

Abstract: Elderly homeowners should look before they leap into one of the new plans to tap the idle value of their home equity and turn it into cash.

Some plans will increase their income taxes or make them ineligible for public assistance. Before deciding, it would pay to look Into other sources of financial aid, such as a loan secured by a traditional mortgage or a low-interest loan from a State government.
