Filled with in-depth insight and practical advice, this unique guide illustrates a number of ways this can be done, including: selling the house and investing the proceeds in stocks and bonds; selling and investing in more real estate; staying put and taking in tenants; taking out a reverse mortgage or home equity line of credit; and much more.
