Canadian homeowners have lots to be excited about these days! If you are over 55, there is a special financial product that has been gaining popularity fast. A Reverse Mortgage allows you to unlock up to 55% of your home’s value and use the cash now for what matters to you most. You may choose to upgrade your retirement lifestyle, renovate your home, or help your loved ones with a ‘living inheritance.’ The best part? You don’t need to make any payments and can stay in the home you love!

The goal when buying a vehicle is to find something you enjoy that is reliable and will have good resale value in the future! Here are a few tips to consider when vehicle shopping.

NARROW DOWN THE LIST of make and models by making a list of what you are looking for in a vehicle and what you do not want.

USE THE MANY TOOLS AVAILABLE to consumers to research your vehicle options. Reviews and comments left by other vehicle owners can help identifying troublesome models.

THE BEST WAY TO KNOW IF THE CAR is for you is to test it to ensure the comfort is to your liking and the driving is what you are looking for.

ASK FOR A MECHANICAL ASSESSMENT and a recent Carfax. A recent Carfax can help determine if the vehicle was involved in past accidents, which part of the vehicle was damaged and the cost of repairs.

A LOW PRICE DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN the best deal. For example, having a good warranty program included is often better than a drop in the price.
