Retirement in Reverse

A Better Retirement Plan

Work together to improve your existing retirement plan

The two Reverse Mortgage options

  1. Traditional Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), for homeowners 62 years and older - commonly known as a Reverse Mortgage. The maximum Reverse Mortgage limit you can borrow against is $1,089,300.
  2. Proprietary Mortgage (jumbo Reverse Mortgage), for individuals 55 years and older, home values up to $25,000,000 and loans up to $5,000,000. Same conditions as the traditional HECM with no origination fee or mortgage insurance premium (MIB).

Work with a trusted advisor

Retirement in Reverse will work with your financial advisors to navigate the process and insure that everything goes smoothly.



Working with a trusted advisor is essential when considering a Reverse Mortgage, together we can help you understand the process and make sure that it is the right decision for you.

Unlike conventional mortgage or home equity loans, there are no monthly mortgage payments (however, in order for the loan to remain in good standing, you must still live in the home as your primary residence, continue to pay required property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintain the home according to FHA requirements.) The loan must be repaid when you sell the home or no longer live there as your primary residence.

Please contact us for the full details regarding borrower obligations and whether a Reverse Mortgage is right for you.

Being retired we wanted to find ways to reduce expenses. Our mortgage payment was a big chunk of our budget each month. We heard of Reverse Mortgages but were skeptical. Our financial advisor suggested we talk to Ted Lange. 


Ted addressed our concerns and led us through the process to secure our Reverse Mortgage. He went to work for us and we could not be happier with the results. In fact, several years later Ted contacted us to refinance our loan giving us additional funds. It is great having Ted Lange, a professional lookout for you.
