Frequently Asked Questions

1️⃣ What is a reverse mortgage?

✅ Answer: A reverse mortgage is a loan secured against your home that allows Canadians aged 55+ to access up to 55% of their home’s value tax-free, without selling or making monthly payments. You keep ownership and can live in your home as long as you choose.

2️⃣ Do I still own my home with a reverse mortgage?

✅ Answer: Yes! You retain full legal ownership of your home. You are only required to keep the property in good condition and stay current on property taxes and home insurance.

3️⃣ Do I have to make monthly mortgage payments?

✅ Answer: No. With a reverse mortgage, you’re not required to make any monthly payments. The loan is typically repaid when you sell your home, move out, or pass away.

4️⃣ What can I use the funds for?

✅ Answer: The funds are yours to use however you like—from paying off debt, renovating your home, covering medical costs, or helping family. The money is tax-free and does not impact your government benefits like CPP or OAS.

5️⃣ How much money can I access?

✅ Answer: You can access up to 55% of your home’s appraised value. The exact amount depends on your age, the location and condition of your home, and its current market value.

6️⃣ What happens to my home when I pass away?

✅ Answer: Your home will be part of your estate. The reverse mortgage will be repaid from the proceeds of the sale. In most cases, your remaining home equity is passed on to your heirs. Over 99% of Canadians who take out a reverse mortgage still retain equity at the time of sale.

7️⃣ Is a reverse mortgage better than a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit)?

✅ Answer: It depends on your situation. A HELOC requires monthly payments and income qualification. A reverse mortgage offers no monthly payments and easier approval, making it ideal for retirees or those on a fixed income.

8️⃣ Will I still benefit if my home increases in value?

✅ Answer: Yes. You still own your home and can benefit from future property appreciation, which can help preserve equity—even after interest is repaid.

9️⃣ Is a reverse mortgage safe and regulated?

✅ Answer: Yes. Canadian reverse mortgages are regulated by OSFI and offered by reputable lenders under strict guidelines. As long as you meet your basic obligations, you can stay in your home for life without fear of foreclosure.

🔟 How do I get started?

✅ Answer: Start with a free consultation to see how much you qualify for. We’ll walk you through your options and help you decide if a reverse mortgage is the right fit for your goals.
