What could your home pay you each month?
You keep living in and owning your home. You receive a monthly amount for up to 8 years and make no monthly repayments. Interest and fees are added to what you owe, which is repaid at the end of the term.
How what you owe grows
In plain words
You would receive R8 727 a month in the first year, rising 5% each year, for 8 years: R1 000 000 in total. Interest of 14.75% a year and a monthly fee of R69 are added to what you owe; you pay nothing each month. After 8 years, when you are about 78, you would owe about R1 874 839. If your home were then sold for R6 333 850, selling costs of about R443 370 come off first, the loan is repaid, and you or your estate keep about R4 015 642. You can never owe more than the home sells for.
