Want to buy a $700,000 home in retirement — but only have $550,000?
This one strategy could make it happen — with no monthly mortgage payment.

In this episode of Real Talk Hilton Head, David and Dale Cross sit down with Jim Davidson and Paul Donahue to uncover the truth about Lifestyle Home Loans (also known as Home Equity Conversion Mortgages for Purchase or HECM).

✅ FHA-insured and backed by Mutual of Omaha
✅ No required monthly mortgage payments
✅ Retain ownership of the home
✅ Unlock trapped home equity
✅ Preserve your retirement savings and maximize your lifestyle

💡 Whether you're relocating, downsizing, or dreaming of a home in the Lowcountry, this episode could change everything you thought you knew about buying a home in retirement.
