What Is a Jumbo Reverse Mortgage?

Built for homeowners with high-value properties

A Jumbo Reverse Mortgage — also called a proprietary reverse mortgage — is a privately insured loan designed for homeowners whose property values exceed the lending limits set by the Federal Housing Administration for standard HECM loans.

Like a standard HECM, a Jumbo Reverse Mortgage allows eligible homeowners to access their home equity without selling the property, without giving up ownership, and without making monthly mortgage payments. The key difference is the loan ceiling — a Jumbo Reverse Mortgage can unlock significantly more equity from a high-value home than a government-insured HECM would allow.

At Home Reverse, we work with homeowners across the country to find the right reverse mortgage solution for their specific situation. For those with higher-value properties, a Jumbo Reverse Mortgage is often the most powerful tool available.

Is This Right for You?

A Jumbo Reverse Mortgage is designed for situations like these

The High-Value Homeowner

“We've lived in our home for thirty years and it has appreciated significantly. Our financial advisor told us a standard reverse mortgage wouldn't unlock nearly enough equity. We didn't know there was another option.”

The Equity-Rich Retiree

“Most of our wealth is tied up in our home. We want to access a meaningful portion of that equity to fund our retirement — but a standard HECM's lending cap means we'd only be scratching the surface of what we've built.”

The Condo or Luxury Property Owner

“Our condo isn't FHA-approved, so a standard HECM was off the table entirely. A Jumbo Reverse Mortgage gave us access to our equity without needing FHA certification on the property.”

Real Homeowners

They unlocked equity their standard HECM couldn't reach

“We had been told by two other lenders that our home value was actually a limitation — that a standard reverse mortgage wouldn't give us access to anywhere near what we needed. Home Reverse introduced us to the Jumbo product and it changed the entire conversation.”

Frequently asked questions

Reverse mortgages can seem confusing. Here are answers to the questions homeowners ask most.

Yes, absolutely. With a reverse mortgage, you retain full ownership of your home. The lender does not own your home. You must continue to pay property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintain the property — but the home remains yours for as long as it is your primary residence.
To qualify, the youngest homeowner generally must be 55 or older, live in the home as a primary residence, and have sufficient home equity. The property must also meet eligible FHA or lender guidelines, and borrowers need to stay current on taxes, insurance, and basic home maintenance.
A reverse mortgage typically does not require monthly mortgage payments. The loan is repaid when the home is sold, the borrower moves out permanently, or the final surviving borrower passes away. At that point, the loan balance is usually paid from the home sale proceeds.
Your heirs still have options. They can sell the home and keep any remaining equity after the loan is paid, refinance the balance to keep the property, or choose to walk away if the home value is less than the loan amount. FHA-insured HECMs protect heirs from owing more than the home's value.
The amount depends on several factors, including your age, home value, current interest rates, and existing mortgage balance. In general, the older the youngest borrower and the more equity available, the higher the potential loan amount.
A reverse mortgage may be a strong fit if you want to eliminate monthly mortgage payments, improve cash flow, supplement retirement income, or access home equity while staying in your home. The best way to know is to review your situation with a licensed advisor.
