Proprietary Reverse Mortgage
Greater flexibility for higher-value homes.
Proprietary reverse mortgages — sometimes referred to as jumbo reverse mortgages — are private loan programs designed for homeowners whose property value or financing needs extend beyond traditional HECM parameters.
​
Because these loans are not governed by the FHA HECM lending limit, they may allow qualified homeowners to access a larger portion of the equity in higher-value properties.
May be worth considering if you:
​
-
Own a higher-value home
-
Have substantial equity
-
Want access to a larger loan amount than a HECM may provide
-
Have a property or financial situation that may not fit traditional HECM guidelines
-
Want additional flexibility in how home equity supports your retirement plan
​
Second Reverse Mortgage
Access home lending options without replacing your existing first mortgage.
For homeowners who already have an attractive first mortgage — particularly one with a low interest rate — refinancing the entire balance may not make financial sense.
A second reverse mortgage may allow eligible homeowners to access additional home equity while leaving their existing first mortgage in place.
​
May be worth considering if you:​​
​
-
Have a low-rate first mortgage you would prefer to keep
-
Have additional equity available in your home
-
Want supplemental retirement funds
-
Don't want to refinance your existing first mortgage
-
Own a home that has appreciated significantly
