How the Jumbo Reverse Mortgage maximizes your retirement potential

The Jumbo Reverse Mortgage offers a powerful alternative to a standard federally-insured reverse mortgage (HECM), providing flexible options designed for homeowners who want to extract value from premium real estate, protect investments, and live comfortably without adding monthly debt payment burdens.

  • Available to homeowners 55+ years old (or as required by state law).
  • Loans up to $4 million (or lender-specified max).
  • No required mortgage insurance premiums (in many cases).

What a Jumbo Reverse Mortgage can do for you

  • Create liquidity without selling assets. Unlock significant home equity without the need to sell the property or take on a conventional home-equity loan with required payments.
  • Preserve your investment portfolio and minimize taxes. Withdraw tax-free cash (it is a loan, not income) to reduce draws on taxable retirement accounts and allow investments to keep working.
  • Increase buying power for a second home or "next chapter" property. Use your existing high-value home's equity to fund a down payment or full purchase of a new retirement residence, while maintaining your current property.
  • Achieve your retirement dreams. Whether you're looking to travel, pursue hobbies, invest in real estate, or simply enjoy more freedom, your home's equity becomes a flexibility tool.

Is a Jumbo Reverse Mortgage right for you?

If you own a higher-value home and want meaningful access to your equity - without monthly mortgage payments and without selling your home - a Jumbo Reverse Mortgage could be an excellent fit. It's important to work with a lender experienced in these products, and to evaluate how the loan fits into your broader financial retirement plan (including legacy goals, tax implications, and asset management).

Frequently Asked Questions

A Jumbo Reverse Mortgage is a proprietary reverse mortgage product for homeowners with high-value properties who want to convert their home equity into cash without monthly mortgage payments. Because it isn't insured by the federal government (unlike the HECM program), it allows for higher loan limits and more flexible terms.

You remain the owner of your home, you may receive funds as a lump sum, monthly payments, a line of credit, or a combination thereof. There are no required monthly principal-or-interest payments (though you must maintain your property, pay property taxes and insurance, and occupy the home as your primary residence). Repayment becomes due upon a maturity event (for example, the borrower moves out permanently, sells the home, or passes away).

Homeowners age 55 or older (depending on state) with substantial equity in higher-value homes who wish to:

  • reduce or eliminate mortgage payments,
  • preserve other assets or investments,
  • purchase a home for retirement or second home using home equity, or
  • gain financial flexibility to live the way they choose.
  • Jumbo Reverse mortgages allow higher loan amounts (up to millions) compared to the FHA-insured HECM limit.
  • They often require application at younger ages (in some cases 55+) versus 62+ for HECM.
  • They do not carry the same federal insurance backing or some FHA program restrictions; hence terms and protections vary by lender.

When the loan becomes due (typically when the homeowner permanently leaves the residence, sells the home, or passes away), the balance is repaid from the sale proceeds or other assets. As with other reverse mortgages, many jumbo products are non-recourse - meaning you or your heirs will not have to pay more than the home is worth.

Yes. Typical criteria include:

  • Minimum age (varies by state, often 55+).
  • The property must be your primary residence.
  • You must maintain the home, keep up property taxes, homeowners insurance, and any HOA dues or maintenance obligations.
  • The home must meet acceptable property standards (single-family, eligible condo/ townhome, etc.).

This is a proprietary jumbo reverse mortgage product and is not affiliated with the federal government's Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program. Loans up to specified maximums may be available only in select states, subject to underwriting. Borrowers must continue to pay property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA fees, and maintain the property. Failure to meet obligations may trigger loan repayment. Interest and fees accrue and the loan balance grows over time. Borrowers or estate must not owe more than the home's value at loan maturity.
