  • Current interest rate; and


  • Lesser of:

    • appraised value;

    • the HECM FHA mortgage limit of $822,375; or

    • the sales price (only applicable to HECM for Purchase) *


  • Jumbo reverse mortgages (to $3,000,000) are also available. *


  • If you have an existing HECM reverse mortgage new lower rates may make it advantageous for you to refinance to a new HECM reverse mortgage *


If there is more than one borrower and no eligible non-borrowing spouse, the age of the youngest borrower is used to determine the amount you can borrow.
