I'm a Family Mana Go Kartera Branch Manageran RV'er
I have been in the mortgage industry for almost two decades. My specialty is Reverse Mortgages, but I can assist you with any of your mortgage needs whether it’s a traditional forward mortgage, new construction or a refinance. You can expect honest communication, commitment to my clients and referral partners through the entire mortgage process and a “can do” positive attitude from my team and I. After graduating from Portland State University with my degree in Economics, I married Robin my high school sweetheart. We have been married for over 33 years and have two wonderful adult children. Robin and I have also been host parents to 8 Rotary youth exchange students from all around the world. When I am not working on mortgages, you can find me at the Go-Kart track, spending time with my family or Robin and I out exploring in our motorhome.

Types of Reverse Mortgages
Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM)
A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), commonly referred to as a “Reverse Mortgage,” allows homeowners 62 and above to convert their home equity into cash and not have to sell their current home. An added benefit of a Reverse Mortgage is the cash received is tax-free. There are a variety of disbursement options available to homeowners.
HECM for Purchase (H4P)
The HECM for Purchase Program (H4P) lets homebuyers 62 and above combine the proceeds of the sale of their current home with a down payment to purchase a new home and not make principal and interest payments as long as they live there (conditions apply, contact Shannon for details).
Disbursement Options
Fixed-Rate HECM
- Lump Sum – Only available with fixed-rate HECM
Adjustable-Rate HECM
- Tenure – Fixed monthly payments for as long as the senior lives in the home as a primary residence
- Term – Fixed monthly payments for a specified period of time
- Line of Credit – A standby line of credit to access funds when needed
- Lump Sum – A one-time payment made to the senior at closing
- Combination – You can choose a tenure or term payment in addition to a line of credit and lump sum
Reverse Mortgage PROS
- Eliminates your existing principal & interest payments
- You stay in your home & maintain title
- Loan proceeds are tax-free and can be used any way you choose—consult your financial advisor

Reverse Mortgage CONS
- The loan balance will increase over time

Above and beyond!
Shannon Horn and his team at Advantage Mortgage truly went above and beyond for me. It took me over 6 months to buy a home, and I put down 9 offers before mine was accepted. Shannon was always available to answer my questions and provide numbers for me with incredible patience and kindness. He responded to me in the evenings, on the weekends, and even from his RV when he was on vacation. Everyone on Shannon’s team was this responsive, including his assistants Paige and Leslie. They all worked together to help me through the emotional process that a first time buyer goes through. Shannon even met me at the bank to support me while I signed my final loan paperwork. I couldn’t have asked to work with a better team.
