What is a reverse mortgage?

Facing rising costs and shrinking savings? A reverse mortgage can be a financial lifeline for retirees 62 and older who own their own home. This innovative loan allows you to tap into your home equity and convert it into a steady stream of income, all while staying in your cherished home.

With a reverse mortgage, you can access your home’s value through a lump sum payment, monthly installments, a flexible line of credit, or even a lifetime monthly income option. The best part? There’s no requirement to repay the loan until you sell your home or the last surviving borrower passes away, as long as you meet the loan terms. This financial freedom can significantly improve your quality of life.

About Charlevoix, Michigan

Charlevoix boasts a unique connection to French Jesuit priest Pierre François Xavier de Charlevoix. Legend has it that during his 1720s exploration of the Great Lakes, Charlevoix sought refuge from a storm by spending a night on Fisherman’s Island. His mission, some believe, was to assess the extent of British influence in North America.

Originally a haven for fishermen in the mid-19th century, Charlevoix’s fortunes changed with the arrival of railroads at the end of the century. These new transportation links opened doors to commercial and industrial development, as well as resort opportunities and real estate growth. Charlevoix even became a popular destination for passenger liners navigating the Great Lakes.

The city’s early chapters were vividly documented by photographer Bob Miles, whose lens captured Charlevoix and its surrounding areas for four decades, starting in the early 1930s.

The 1980s witnessed a renewed surge in development, with a focus on condominium construction.

Beyond its rich history, Charlevoix offers a vibrant present. The Venetian Festival, a beloved tradition since 1931, features a lively mix of music acts, a carnival, a dazzling boat parade, and spectacular fireworks. Apple Fest, established in 1978, is an annual celebration of one of northern Michigan’s most plentiful fruits, the humble apple. And adding a touch of floral charm, the city’s tradition of showcasing vibrant petunias began in 1982.
