It’s obvious your not a big self promotion fan and while I agree to a certain extent, all companies need to market themselves.

I do think GG offers the best consumer focused calculator, just my opinion. I’d rather see companies present themselves as a resource (ie GG)vs. rebranding the HECM as their own product like some have started doing.

The REX and Equity Key products are relevant even though they have suspended funding recently. I still see plenty of traffic coming to RMD looking for that type of information and I do think they will begin funding again in the next couple months.

Also, I don’t agree with your statement about the products being something of a last resort. What makes sense for one person might not make sense for someone else so I’m simply saying people should present all options to consumers and let them decide.

Dont get me wrong, I still think the HECM is a better product most of the time but as well all know, it’s not for everyone.

As always I appreciate your comments, but I certainly don’t always agree =)
