Senior home owners can now generate cash during retirement by taking out a reverse mortgage.
Skim Saraan Bercagar or Reverse Mortgage (“RM”) is a type of loan that is targeted for the elderly or retirees who own a home, and allows them to convert their one big asset — their residential property — into a fixed monthly income stream throughout their lifetime, without sacrificing ownership whilst continuing to stay in their home.
Fixed monthly payouts throughout the entire life of the borrower or joint borrower.
Repayment only due when borrower or joint borrower passes away, whichever later.
Borrower and joint borrower can continue to stay in their property throughout their life.
Borrower’s estate will not be responsible for any shortfall to settle the Skim Saraan Bercagar Loan if the sale proceeds of the property is less than the outstanding loan amount.
To qualify for a Skim Saraan Bercagar Loan, the person must be at least 55 years of age and own a home.
*** For joint RM Loan, not only confined to the partner but includes parent, sibling or child, subject to age limit.
The amount of payout that a Borrower receives will largely depend on the Borrower’s age and property value, location and type.
Use our reverse mortgage calculator to estimate the monthly payout amount. A one-time lump sum payout together with monthly cash disbursements is also available. Learn more about the lump sum and costs here.

In this situation, the standard loan termination process will take place. Below are the options available to the next-of-kin.
Settle the outstanding Skim Saraan Bercagar Loan
The outstanding amount will depend on the loan tenure. After settling the outstanding amount, the property will be passed back to the next-of-kin.
Not settle the Skim Saraan Bercagar Loan
If the next-of-kin chooses to not settle the loan, Cagamas will proceed to dispose the property and settle the outstanding loan. Any balance in the sale proceeds of the property, after subtracting the loan amount, will be passed on to the borrower’s estate.
Borrower may surrender or terminate the agreement by settling or paying off the outstanding loan amount accumulated until that point of time.
No, the surviving joint-borrower would be able to reside in the property until death.
