Cash flow first saves lives: Rules for the number of years to live in a house for retirement, sell when you need to

A family approaching ages 65–70 reports an old townhouse, a vacant commercial building, a newer Hualien home, NT$140,000 monthly income, NT$170,000–$200,000 outflow, and about NT$3 million cash.

Video Overview

After illness and a child’s return home to provide care, the family reviews a debt-free old townhouse, a roughly 30-year-old commercial building that has been hard to rent and supported a NT$5.8 million loan, and a Hualien home bought in 2025 for NT$20 million with a NT$15 million mortgage. Pension income near NT$45,000 and rent near NT$90,000 remain below monthly loan and other costs of NT$170,000–$200,000, before about NT$200,000 of annual property tax and repairs. The speaker lists reverse-mortgage conditions involving sole ownership, building age plus term below 65, a 25-year maximum, and applicant age plus term above 95, then proposes selling cash-draining property first. Bank rules, values, taxes, and sale outcomes need professional confirmation.

Key Takeaways

  • Despite substantial property, vacancy, repairs, tax, and debt leave the household with negative monthly cash flow.
  • The video lists ownership, building-age, term, and applicant-age conditions for a reverse mortgage, but eligibility would not itself cure the deficit.
  • The speaker favors selling the Hualien home and other cash-draining property; sale prices, taxes, and estate planning require separate review.

True security is not having no debt, but always having cash on hand

The speaker argues that debt does not eliminate the need for cash because property, investments, and employment can fail together. A 30% cash example and 80% decline scenario test whether forced selling can be avoided.
