If you own your own home and are at least 62 years of age, a reverse mortgage provides an opportunity to convert your home equity into cash. The reverse mortgage allows you to take out a loan against the equity in your home, but you don’t have to repay the loan during your lifetime as long as you are living in the home and have not sold it. Let a Reverse Mortgage Specialist show how a Reverse Mortgage can work for YOU!

Come out and join Build Now on Saturday, May 21st from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. as we host ArtHouse, a home and art tour featuring Build Now’s newly constructed homes. This event supports the community, its residents, and some of the very talented artists that live among us. Build Now has recently completed over thirty homes in hard hit neighborhoods throughout New Orleans and we are showcasing these homes for one day only. Over the past three years, Build Now has been working hard to bring New Orleanians back home to their neighborhoods and on May 19th, we invite the public to view our sites transformed by local artists into in-home galleries featuring some of New Orleans’ most exciting new artistic expressions.
