Frequently Asked Questions

Who qualifies for a reverse mortgage in Canada?

Reverse mortgages are available to homeowners aged 55 and older who own a primary residence. The amount available depends on your age, your home's appraised value, its location, and the lender's guidelines. We review your eligibility with you during the Personalized Planning stage.

Do I have to make monthly payments on a reverse mortgage?

No. A reverse mortgage doesn't require regular monthly mortgage payments. Instead, interest accumulates on the amount borrowed, and the balance is repaid when the home is sold, or when you move out permanently or pass away.

Do I still own my home with a reverse mortgage?

Yes. You keep ownership and title to your home. You remain responsible for property taxes, home insurance, and keeping the property in good condition.

How much equity can I access with a reverse mortgage?

Only a portion of your home's value is available, and it varies by lender, your age, and the property. Generally, the older you are, the more equity you may be able to access. We'll give you a realistic estimate based on your situation.

How does a reverse mortgage affect my estate and my family?

Because interest accumulates over time, the amount owing grows and the equity remaining in your home decreases. When the home is sold, the mortgage is repaid from the proceeds and any remaining equity goes to you or your estate. We encourage you to include your family in the conversation so everyone understands the long-term impact.

Is a reverse mortgage the right choice for me?

It depends on your goals, your age, how long you plan to stay in your home, and the other options available to you. Reverse mortgages aren't one-size-fits-all, so we also walk through alternatives, such as a HELOC or a traditional refinance, so you can compare before deciding.
