Car will reverse but wont go forward

Reverse mortgages can provide much-needed cash for seniors whose net worth is mostly tied up in the value of their home. A reverse mortgage is a loan for homeowners who are age 62 or older and have considerable home equity . It allows these seniors to borrow money against the value of their home and receive funds as a lump sum , a fixed monthly payment, or a line of credit . The entire loan balance becomes due and payable when the borrower dies, moves away permanently, or sells the home. However, there have been some issues associated with reverse mortgages. Aside from the potential for scams targeting the elderly, reverse mortgages have some legitimate risks . Despite recent reforms, there are still situations when a widow or widower could lose the home upon their spouse’s death. There also have been instances in which reverse mortgages have been advertised using false claims. For example, a California-based reverse mortgage broker falsely told potential … [Read more...] about What’s Prohibited in Reverse Mortgage Advertising?

(Image credit: RM Sotheby's) A rare Mercedes-Benz race car was auctioned for a massive $143 million earlier in May. It has become the most expensive car to ever be sold.

'We expect global edible oil stock levels to take time to recover due to expectations of a prolonged Ukraine-Russia war as well as disruption from adverse weather conditions,' said the analyst. (Photo by Reuters) - A + A KUALA LUMPUR (May 23): Affin Hwang Investment Bank on Monday (May 23) downgraded Sime Darby Plantation Bhd to "sell" (from "hold") as it cut its target price (TP) to RM4.20 (from RM4.95).

Lake Worth is a neighborhood technically within West Palm Beach, but a whole universe away from the mansions and glittering promenades. In fact, at the high school Odupitan and Fulton attended, two competing gangs had recently emerged. Rap music was helping to create a narrow, violent vision of what young people’s lives could be, Odupitan says. The friends had managed to stay somewhat removed, as athletes. But they still weren’t safe. There had already been shootings. As they bantered back and forth, they saw a car rolling down their street. Then, ominously, the headlights went off. They dove into the bushes. They crawled out a little while later, and that night they said, as they’d said before: “We have to get out of this community.” At that moment, not many people … [Read more...] about Topeka University Recruited A Football Player.

- A + A SHANGHAI/BEIJING (May 22): Shanghai reopened a small part of the world's longest subway system on Sunday, after some lines had been closed for almost two months, as the city paves the way for a more complete lifting of its painful Covid-19 lockdown next week. With most residents not allowed to leave their homes and restrictions tightening in parts of China's most populous city, commuters early on Sunday needed strong reasons to travel.

Many who ventured out in the commercial hub wore blue protective gowns and face shields. Inside the carriages, passengers were seen keeping some empty seats between themselves. Crowds were small. Xu Jihua, a migrant construction worker, arrived at a subway stop before it opened at 7 a.m., hoping to get to a rail station, then … [Read more...] about Shanghai reopens some public transport, still on high Covid alert
