As financial professionals, we aim to help our clients achieve their goals. Let’s have a look at this client’s situation. Javier is a 68-year-old single male who owns a condo in Ottawa, Ontario. He has $140,000 in registered investments, $100,000 owing on his mortgage, and a defined benefit pension plan that provides a small monthly income. When planning for retirement, despite careful planning, there can sometimes be a financial shortfall, which Javier will encounter by age 83.

What do you think Javier should do?

We’ve looked at the financials and compared a traditional home equity line of credit vs a CHIP Reverse Mortgage. For a closer look, here’s a case study that illustrates Javier’s situation and how a CHIP Reverse Mortgage was the right option for him.
