What Makes This Optional Payment Loan for Seniors Different From Other Loans?

1

No Required Monthly Payments: Unlike traditional loans, no monthly payments are required. You can pause, stop or restart monthly payments whenever you wish. Change the monthly payment amount (increase or decrease) also anytime!

2

Protect Your Home Equity: If you were concerned a reverse mortgage would eliminate your home equity - then an Optional Payment Mortgage is for you! By making monthly payments, your loan balance will NOT increase and your home equity will be protected!

3

No Credit Requirements: You will still be approved for a home equity loan for seniors if you have bad credit.

4

Get Approved for More: Most retired homeowners will qualify for a larger senior's home equity loan than a traditional home equity loan.

How Does an Optional Payment Home Equity Loan Work?

We have partnered with Canadian banks that can offer Optional Payment Home Equity Loans designed exclusively for homeowners over the age of 55.

These Canadian banks are able to offer the payment optional loans at competitive interest rates.

There are no minimum income or credit score requirements for these home equity loans.

Your loan amount will be determined by the value of your home and your age, not your ability to make monthly repayments.

You have complete freedom to use the funds any way you wish. You receive the funds completely tax-free and there will be no reduction in your government benefits.

Unlike a traditional home equity loan, no monthly payments are required, but you can make payments every month if you wish.

The loan only needs to be fully paid back when you sell your home or move out.

You will stay as the owner of your home and will never over more than the value of your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions we receive.

What are the fees to get an Optional Payment Mortgage?

You must pay a setup fee to the lender, legal fees and a home appraisal fee. Seniors who get this type of a loan typically only pay for the appraisal fee out of pocket and this amount is approximately $500. The other fees can be paid from the new mortgage loan once it has been setup.

RetireBetter does not charge you for our services in arranging an Optional Payment Mortgage. We do receive compensation directly from the lender at no extra cost to you.

Contact us for more information about the fees to setup an Optional Payment Mortgage for seniors.

Can I get an Optional Payment Mortgage if I already have a mortgage?

Your existing mortgage will need to be paid off before you can access your Optional Payment Mortgage loan. You can use your own funds, the funds from your new mortgage or a combination of both to pay off your existing mortgage.

If you do not have sufficient funds of your own, then you will need to qualify for a large enough mortgage loan to pay off your existing mortgage.

RetireBetter can still help you if you do not qualify for a large enough home equity loan to pay off your existing mortgage. Contact us to explore your options in these circumstances.

What are the interest rates for an Optional Payment Mortgage?

Since this product does not have income or credit requirements, and does not require monthly repayments of any kind, the interest rates are slightly higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages but they are similar to traditoinal home equity lines of credit.

However, the interest rates remain very competitive and are much lower than credit card interest rates or personal loan rates.
