What Is a Jumbo Reverse Mortgage?
A jumbo reverse mortgage is a home loan that allows older homeowners to access a portion of the equity they have in a high-value property and allows them to defer repayment to a later date.
As a borrower, you have the option to repay as much or as little of the loan balance each month as you would like, or you can make no monthly mortgages payments at all. Of course, you must still maintain the home and pay homeowners insurance and property taxes, just like a traditional mortgage.
Rob Kanyur and his team are personable, professional and very good at what they do. Our reverse mortgage went so smoothly. We were kept informed during the whole process which was an amazingly short amount of time! I highly recommend Rob + Fairway.

My husband and I live in Prescott, AZ. Rob Kanyur's company was highly recommended to us, for good reason. We took out a Reverse Mortgage in 2019 with Rob, and updated it in August 2021 to reflect the increased value of our home and low interest rates. Both transactions were quick and painless and handled professionally by Rob and his excellent team. We highly recommend Ron Kanyur and his team at Fairway Mortgage.
I have worked in and around the real estate business for almost 30 years. I have had the experience of watching numerous mortgage brokers as they provided their services for their clients. During this time I have had specific experience working with several reverse mortgage brokers.When it came time for my wife and I to consider a reverse mortgage, I knew I didn't want one of those brokers I had known in the past. We chose to do our reverse mortgage with Rob after receiving a referral from a mortgage broker friend, who I know to be very competent. She spoke well of Rob, both as a person and as a broker. We soon learned that Rob has expert knowledge of reverse mortgage. He is, by far, the best reverse mortgage broker I have ever had the privilege of knowing.If you are considering a reverse mortgage, Rob is the broker you want to do business with. He and his team will insure that your transaction will be done correctly and in a timely manner.
What are key advantages of a Jumbo Reverse Mortgage (over a Traditional HECM Reverse Mortgage)?
Access More Equity
Learn More
Your age, the lending limits, the interest rate and the appraised value of your home all factor into how much money you’re able to receive with a reverse mortgage.
With a traditional HECM reverse mortgage, the home value limit that can be borrowed against is currently capped at $1,089,300—whereas that limit on a jumbo reverse mortgage can extend into the millions of dollars.
For example, let’s say Harold owns a home that is worth $1.5 million. With a Jumbo Reverse Mortgage Loan, he may be able to borrow against the full appraised value of the home, not the FHA maximum of $1,089,300 as he would with a HECM Reverse Mortgage Loan.
Avoid Paying a Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP)
Learn More
Jumbo reverse mortgages often have no mortgage insurance premium (MIP), which can reduce the overall loan costs.
With a HECM reverse mortgage, the FHA requires that the borrower pays both an initial and ongoing mortgage insurance premium (MIP), which helps make it a non-recourse loan. A non-recourse loan means if the balance on the loan exceeds the home value at the time the home is sold, neither you nor your heirs are responsible for paying the deficit. This feature on a HECM reverse mortgage loan is guaranteed by the FHA.
While most jumbo reverse mortgages are non-recourse loans, no jumbo reverse mortgages loans are insured by the FHA.
Less Restrictive Qualifications for Condos

Unlike a HECM reverse mortgage, with a jumbo reverse mortgage, condos do not necessarily have to be FHA-approved.
