Frequently Asked Questions
-
A reverse mortgage lets homeowners aged 55+ borrow against their home equity without monthly payments. The loan is repaid when you move, sell the home, or pass away. It's a great option for those who want to access funds while remaining in their home. You retain ownership of your property the entire time.
-
Yes, absolutely. With a reverse mortgage, you remain the full owner of your home. The lender simply places a lien on the property, which is paid off later. You're still responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance, but no ownership is transferred.
-
No monthly payments are required with a reverse mortgage. The loan, along with any accrued interest, is only due when you sell the home, move out permanently, or pass away. This can ease financial strain in retirement while still keeping you in control.

As long as you meet the basic requirements—keeping the home in good condition, paying your taxes and insurance—you won’t lose your home. You're protected under Canadian regulations and lender guidelines, which are designed to ensure you stay safe and informed.
