Marcus Wright Mortgage
Reverse mortgages

Proprietary and jumbo reverse mortgage

The short answer Proprietary or jumbo reverse mortgages are private products outside the federal HECM insurance program. They may suit different home values or property situations, but eligibility, available states, proceeds, fees, protections and payment options vary by provider. Marcus offers this category and can compare it with a HECM illustration.

Last reviewed: October 18, 2026 · General education, not a loan offer or approval. Availability and terms depend on the lender, the property and your file.

It may fit if

  • Your home's value is high and you want to see whether a private reverse product could fit.
  • Your property situation may not fit the HECM program.
  • You want a side-by-side comparison with a HECM before deciding.

Tradeoffs to weigh

  • These products are not federally insured, so protections depend on the specific product.
  • Eligibility, fees, proceeds and payment options vary by provider.
  • Ongoing obligations such as taxes, insurance and maintenance still apply.

What to have ready

  • Rough home value and any current mortgage balance.
  • Your property type and location.
  • What you hope the funds will do for you.
  • Your plans for the home and your heirs.
  • Whether you've already seen a HECM illustration.
