A retirement that starts with a mortgage — a familiar situation for many Canadians.
A monthly payment can take a significant share of retirement income. And getting a new loan after retiring is not always easy, even if you own a home and have built up equity.
A reverse mortgage can help pay off the remaining balance of a regular mortgage and reduce or eliminate the regular mortgage payment. You continue living in your home — without selling or moving — and keep ownership as long as you meet the terms of the agreement.
It is important to understand in advance: interest accrues on the loan amount; repayment requirements apply; terms depend on age, home value, and financial situation. Taxes, insurance, and other home-related costs must also be considered.
It is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but for some homeowners 55+ it can bring more peace of mind and financial flexibility in retirement.
