What Is a Proprietary Reverse Mortgage?

Unlike a federally insured HECM, a proprietary reverse mortgage is offered by private lenders. Often called “jumbo reverse mortgages,” they’re designed specifically for homeowners with higher-value properties who want access to more of their equity.

How Can a Proprietary Reverse Mortgage Help You?

  • Access More Equity – Unlock more funds than what’s available through a HECM.

  • No Mortgage Insurance Premiums – Save money by avoiding government insurance costs.

  • Flexible Eligibility – Available to homeowners starting at age 55, with expanded property value limits.

  • Custom Options – Tailored solutions for unique financial goals, whether that’s preserving wealth, upgrading your lifestyle, or creating a stronger safety net.

Common Misconceptions About Proprietary Reverse Mortgages

  • “They’re riskier than HECMs.” – Not necessarily. While not FHA-insured, proprietary products are backed by reputable private lenders and come with built-in safeguards.

  • “They’re only for luxury homes.” – While often used for higher-value homes, they can be a smart solution for anyone whose property value exceeds FHA limits.

  • “They’re complicated to understand.” – That’s where we come in — to break it down clearly, step by step.
