Your actual loan proceeds will be lower than this cap because the principal limit factor (based on your age and current interest rates) determines what percentage of the maximum claim amount you can access.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if your principal limit factor is 50% and your home\u2019s value matches the full <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$1,249,125<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> limit, you could potentially borrow around <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$624,562<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, mandatory costs like mortgage insurance premiums and origination fees reduce this amount further.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your home value exceeds the reverse mortgage loan limits and you need more money, you might consider looking into a jumbo reverse mortgage.
