Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be
substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all
interest on a reverse mortgage is tax-deductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid.
AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the
balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan
becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may
need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance. V2020.12.22

Conley’s injury for

After Utah guard Dono-

through the first three
games of this second-round
playoff series, his coach
Quin Snyder was asked be-
fore tipoff of the fourth game

THE WIDE SHOT

Musical
is a hit
and
a miss.
Why?
‘Heights’ has a tepid
start. Being touted
as the Latinx ‘Black
Panther’ didn’t help.
By Ryan Faughnder

Let’s stipulate from the

start that it’s not necessari-
ly curtains yet at the box
office for “In the Heights.”
It’s possible that word-
of-mouth hype will spread
and buoy the box office for
Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of
Lin-Manuel Miranda’s
acclaimed New York-set
musical.
The best-case scenario
would be a repeat of what
happened with “The Great-
est Showman,” which
looked DOA when it pre-
miered in 2017 with middling
reviews but went on to gross
more than $170 million do-
mestically.
But for now, Warner
Bros.’s “In the Heights,”
which arrived in theaters
with almost nothing but
raves, is a commercial dis-
appointment after opening
with a dismal $11.4 million in
ticket sales, falling short of
the $15 million to $20 million
that box-office prognostica-
tors expected.
It’s an unfortunate result
coming after “In the
Heights” was saddled with
an unfair cultural burden.
