Retirement Expert, Bill Losey, Discusses Home Ownership and Retirement

March 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Bill Losey, New York based author and retirement expert, recently published an article on his website http://www.BillLosey.com asking his clients and readers “Should you pay down low-interest debt, or should you invest the money into a tax-advantaged account that could potentially bring you a strong return? The article titled “Should You Own Your Home Free & Clear Before You Retire? ” provides some helpful tips and scenarios to help answer that question.  Bill Losey launched his nationwide business five years ago with one goal in mind – to offer advice and solutions to those planning for retirement, as well as those in the midst of retirement, who are trying to get the most out of their finances.

Bill Losey writes, “At first glance, the answer would seem to be “absolutely, if at all possible.” Retiring with less debt … isn’t that a good thing? Why not make a few extra mortgage payments to get the job done?  In reality, things are not so cut and dried. There is a fundamental opportunity cost to consider. If you decide to put more money toward your mortgage, what could that money potentially do for you if you were to direct it elsewhere?”

“Think it over. It really comes down to what you believe. If you are bearish, then you may lean toward paying off your mortgage before you retire. There is no doubt about it – when you pay off debt you owe, you effectively get an instant return on your money for every dollar. If you are tantalizingly close to paying off your house, then you may just want to go ahead and do it because you love being free and clear,” continued Losey.
