CHIP Reverse Mortgage
If you are like many other Canadians over the age of 55, your assets include the equity in your home and the money you’ve saved. There is also a good chance that your home’s value has significantly increased over the years and represents a good portion of your net worth. While having a home that has increased value is a positive thing, you typically can’t spend that value unless you sell. And that’s something many homeowners simply do not want to do. The other option is putting a mortgage on the property – but then you may have to qualify on an income that is now reduced and make regular monthly payments that your budget won’t allow.
