What is a reverse mortgage?

Reverse Mortgages are a type of lending that allows you access to up to 55% of the equity in your home, without having to sell or make regular payments. A tax-free option, that will not affect any Old Age Security (OAS) benefits or Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) government benefits you may receive.

It’s important to note that you maintain full ownership and control of your home, and you will never be asked to move or sell your home to repay a CHIP reverse mortgage.
