Unravelling the intricacies of reverse mortgages in Canada

A reverse mortgage allows homeowners over 55 to access home equity without monthly payments. In Canada, Equitable Bank and HomeEquity Bank offer this option. The loan must be repaid upon sale or the owner's passing, with penalties for early termination. Interest rates affect the total loan amount, and only homes with a certain equity amount qualify.
