Rent? Buy? Refinance? Reverse Mortgage? Avoid Foreclosure! These are some of the topics that will be covered with Connecticut Department of Banking representative Michael Buchas. Learn how reverse mortgages work, including the loan limit and the distribution of money. Find out how foreclosures can be prevented, including how to find resources at the local, state and federal level. Examine mortgage choices such as whether refinancing would be beneficial and choosing between buying or renting. This program will take place Tuesday, January 15 at 7:00 pm in the Rotary Room at the Main Library, 1080 Old Post Road.
