Reverse Mortgage Quick-Facts and Features

SJC Financial's construction loan process is fast, easy and intuitive each step along the way.

Step 1

Tax Free Money

The money you receive does not constitute a part of your taxable income, meaning that your Old Age Security (OAS) and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) is not affected.

Step 2

Maintain Ownership of Your Home

Contrary to popular belief, you will not lose your home with a Canadian reverse mortgage. You'll never be asked to move or sell to repay your Reverse Mortgage. The requirement is to maintain your property and stay up-to-date with property taxes, fire insurance and condominium or maintenance fees while you live there.

Step 3

Use The Money Anyway You Wish

A reverse mortgage can help you enjoy your retirement or cover unexpected expenses. Pay for medical bills, upgrade your home, help family and loved ones, travel and pay monthly expenses without depleting your current savings. The only condition is that any outstanding loans secured by your home must be paid out with the proceeds from your Reverse Mortgage.

Step 4

Keep All Remaining Home Equity

In many years of experience, 99 out of 100 homeowners have money left over when their Reverse Mortgage is repaid. And on average, the amount left over is 50% of the value of the home when it is sold.

Step 5

Basic Qualification

To qualify you must be a Canadian home owner, 55 years of age or older. The age qualification applies to both you and your spouse. Get up to 55% the value of your home; No credit, no health check and no income needed. Your home must be your primary residence.

  • What can I say, Steve and team worked tirelessly to help me secure a mortgage during a very exhausting process. This mortgage was not as simple as perhaps some of the others. My wife and I just moved back from a different city, had a 3 month old and I started a new job earlier in the year. It took me over 6 months to purchase a house and secure a deal. After the exhausting efforts during a very tough market, Steve and his team at SJC Financial gave me an opportunity to move forward and start my real estate investment journey. His tireless efforts, guidance and knowledge of the industry is what made this all possible. My situation was complex, my income was variable and the pandemic has made banks more insecure than ever... - Patrick and Stephanie

How Much Money Can I Get?

 

The value of your home has grown over the years and makes up a good portion of your net worth. A Reverse Mortgage allows you to turn some of your home equity into tax-free cash. You can access up to 55% of its value. The amount that you can access is based on several factors such as; your age, property location, home type and appraised home value.

Experienced Reverse Mortgage Advice

Unlike a traditional mortgage where you make payments to a bank or someone else, a reverse mortgage pays you. You can use the money in anyway you see fit and live your retirement comfortably knowing you don’t need to leave your home. The biggest benefit of a reverse mortgage is that you are not required to make regular payments for as long as you or your spouse lives in your home.

Fortify Your Healthcare Funds

When you need a steady cash flow to manage your recurring, out-of-pocket medical expenses, use some of your home’s equity through a reverse mortgage and create tax-free, cash-inhand (you can receive monthly payments, or you cash in one lump sum – the choice is yours).

Renovate Your Home

space

Your home is your sanctuary, filled with memories. It is where you intend to live out the rest of your lives, comfortably. It is because of this that many retired Canadian homeowners feel the need to upgrade their kitchen, bathroom or even build a deck in their backyard.

Have Questions? 

Here are a few answers to some common questions you might have.

Standard Q&A

  • Will the homeowner owe more than the house is worth?

    The homeowner keeps all the equity remaining in the home. In our many years of experience, over 99% of homeowners have money left over when their loan is repaid.

    The equity remaining depends on the amount borrowed, the value of the home, and the amount of time that’s passed since the reverse mortgage was taken out.

  • Will the bank own the home?
    No. The homeowner retains title and maintains ownership of the home. It’s required for the homeowner to live in the home, pay taxes on time, have home insurance, and maintain the property in good condition.
  • What if the homeowner has an existing mortgage?
    For clients that have an existing mortgage, the first step we will take is to pay off your conventional mortgage along with any other secured debt.
  • Should reverse mortgages only be considered as a loan of last resort?
    No. Many financial professionals recommend a reverse mortgage to supplement monthly income instead of selling and downsizing, or taking out a conventional mortgage or a line of credit.
  • What fees are associated with a reverse mortgage?
    There are one time fees to arrange a reverse mortgage such as an appraisal fee, fee for independent legal advice as well as our fee for administration, title insurance, and registration. With the exception of the appraisal fee, these fees are paid for with the funding dollars.
  • What if the homeowner can’t afford payments?
    There are no monthly payments required as long as the homeowner is living in the home.
