A CHIP Home Income Plan is a reverse mortgage available exclusively for homeowners age 55 and older secured by the equity in your home. Unlike a traditional mortgage in which you make regular payments to someone else, a reverse mortgage pays you.
The advantage of a CHIP reverse mortgage is that you do not have to make any principal or interest payments for as long as you or your spouse live in your home.
You can receive up to 50% of the value of your home. The specific amount is based on your age and that of your spouse, the location and type of home you have, and your home’s current appraised value.
Eligible borrowers are given the option of receiving all the money you’re eligible for in one lump sum advance, or you can receive planned advances over a set period of time. You can even combine a lump sum advance at the beginning with ongoing advances over time.
No payments on your CHIP reverse mortgage are required while you or your spouse live in your home. The full amount only becomes due when your home is sold, or if you move out.
You maintain ownership and complete control of your home and will never be asked to move or sell to repay your CHIP Home Income Plan.

After not having been satisfied with our own bank, Reza found us an amazing rate with a different lender, which also best matched our needs. He truly was interested in providing us with all available information and professional assistance every step of the way. With an excellent response time and available at all times of the day, night and weekends, he made the whole process of buying our home smooth. Thank you Reza. - Judith & Peter - Richmond BC.
