MORTGAGE LIFE INSURANCE [6 records]

When you take out a mortgage on a home, you’ll generally have your regular payment automatically deducted from your account, to cover the entire amount. This can be deceiving, since your mortgage payment may consist of several components : the mortgage principal and interest, property taxes and mortgage life insurance. Let's take them one at a time.... Mortgage interest. Generally, mortgage interest costs are front-loaded, so that that interest comprises a much larger percentage of your regular mortgage payment at the beginning of the life of the mortgage than toward the end.

CONT

Mortgage loan insurance was developed to address the problem home buyers have with saving enough for a down payment while addressing the concerns Canadian mortgage lenders expressed with the increased potential of payment default. By developing mortgage loan insurance, home buyers and mortgage lenders now have an alternative. Using approved Canadian lenders, mortgage loan insurance now affords home buyers the ability to purchase a home with as little as 5% down while protecting mortgage lenders against payment default.

OBS

Mortgage insurance... Do not confuse this form of insurance with the life insurance offered by many lenders that repays the loan in the event that the borrower dies.

CONT

Split Equity Contract similar to the en viager method used in France, involves the actual sale of the property by the homeowner. There is no mortgage. The homeowner retains the right to rent-free occupancy for a specified number of years or life. The purchase price would be determined by the expected future value of the property discounted by its rent-free use, interest, and the specific or expected time lapse before actual possession. This could be a life mortality consideration. The proceeds of the sale could be invested to yield income or, alternatively, used to buy a Life Annuity from an insurance company.
