CHIP Reverse Mortgage is a loan secured against the value of the home. Unlike a loan or a regular mortgage, with CHIP Reverse Mortgage you are not required to make regular mortgage payments. The loan is repaid only when the homeowners no longer live in the home.
The homeowner is required to keep the property in good condition, up-to-date with property taxes and property insurance. The money received is tax-free and can be used however the homeowner wishes.
Pay off debts
Handle unexpected expenses
Help children or grandchildren
Improve day-to-day standard of living
Make a special trip or purchase
Your clients can now stay in their home and community. Homeowners maintain complete ownership and control of the home for as long as they choose to stay.
With a CHIP Reverse Mortgage, there are no regular mortgage payments until the homeowner decides to move or sell.
Up to 55% of the equity in the home is available and can be used however the homeowner wishes to enjoy retirement.
Your clients can get their finances under control and gain the freedom to set their own plans and priorities.
The money accessed through CHIP is tax-free and will not affect CPP or OAS.
