If you’re 55 or older and own a high-value home, a Proprietary Reverse Mortgage Refinance may provide access to more of your home’s equity than a traditional reverse mortgage. Unlike government-insured programs, proprietary reverse mortgages are private lending solutions designed for homeowners who need larger loan amounts or who may not qualify for a standard HECM.

Whether you’re looking to eliminate your current mortgage payment, improve cash flow, or access additional funds for retirement, a proprietary reverse mortgage refinance can provide the financial flexibility you deserve.

The Basics

What Is a Proprietary Reverse Mortgage?

A Proprietary Reverse Mortgage is a privately funded reverse mortgage created specifically for homeowners with higher-value properties. These loans often offer:

  • Higher loan limits than FHA-insured reverse mortgages
  • Eligibility starting at age 55 (depending on the state and lender)
  • Access to more home equity
  • Flexible payout options
  • No required monthly mortgage payments as long as you continue to meet loan obligations*

Because these loans are not insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), they can provide financing solutions beyond traditional reverse mortgage limits.

Pay off your existing mortgage
Access additional cash from your home’s increased value
Consolidate higher-interest debt

Cover healthcare or long-term care expenses
