Reverse Mortgages are a completely different mortgage solution for Canadians that are 55 or older.
Benefits of reverse mortgages:
A reverse mortgage allows you to access and utilize the Equity you have built up in your Home.
Many seniors cannot qualify for standard mortgages due to their income no longer being as high as when they were working. Reverse mortgages DO NOT use income to qualify.
You maintain full ownership of your Home.
Reverse Mortgages never require you to re-qualify after you enter the product. Mortgages can require you to ‘re-qualify’ at maturity, which can be difficult for fixed income retirees.
There are no interest or principal payments for as long as you or your spouse live in the house.
You can even have your house write you a cheque every month to improve your monthly cash flow.
You qualify based on the Equity in your Home.
There are two providers of reverse Mortgages in Canada, and your Worry Free Mortgage Agent has access to both of them.
