Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does Income Solution supplement your retirement income?

Our Income Solution converts a portion of your home’s value into a reliable source of cashflow — similar to the recurring payments provided by an arrangement like a pension. Instead of taking all the money at once, you receive steady monthly or quarterly payments that supplement your retirement income. There are no required monthly mortgage payments to make, and you continue to own and live in your home. The loan is repaid later when you sell your home or from your estate, giving you predictable cashflow now when you need it most.

2. How much of my home equity can I access through Income Solution?

Income Solution lets you access up to 55% of your home’s appraised value.

3. How will I receive my money?

Scheduled advances, either monthly or quarterly, are required. Our Income Solution gives you the convenience of regular deposits right to your bank account.

4. Do I have to pay tax on my Income Solution money?

No. It’s tax-free because you are unlocking home equity from your primary residence. If you have questions about how this may apply to your individual circumstances, consider speaking with a tax advisor.

5. Can I repay my balance early, before the sale of my home?

Yes. You or your spouse can repay the principal or interest at any time — in full or on an annual or monthly basis. A prepayment charge may apply, as set out in your agreement.

6. When it’s time to repay the loan, could my other assets be affected?

We guarantee that the amount to be repaid will never exceed the fair market value of your home. Your other assets are completely protected.
