Proprietary Reverse Mortgages for High-Value Boise Homes

Homeowners in Boise, Eagle, and Meridian with properties above FHA’s lending limits may benefit from proprietary (jumbo) reverse mortgages. These private-lender programs extend beyond standard HECM caps, allowing larger loan amounts and flexible payout structures.

We work with reputable lenders who specialize in jumbo reverse products to ensure your equity works harder without sacrificing transparency or safety.

What Is a Proprietary or Jumbo Reverse Mortgage?

A proprietary reverse mortgage is a privately funded program, not insured by FHA. It’s designed for homes typically valued above $1,000,000 or those exceeding federal HECM limits. Borrowers can access higher proceeds based on appraised value and age.

Key Features

  • Higher loan limits—ideal for upscale Boise neighborhoods and acreage properties

  • Streamlined underwriting with flexible appraisal guidelines

  • Fixed or adjustable rate structures

  • Available for borrowers aged 60 or 62+, depending on lender

  • Options for lump-sum or structured payments
