Hopefully you got your answer. It is not simple to determine since the age of the individual seeking a reverse mortgage is important in determining what the maximum ltv can be. There is a calculation to determine how much of a "heloc in reverse" they could provide you to take money from; then they will allow for a loan to value based on the expectation not too many borrowers will outlive the equity remaining in the property once they depart this world. A reverse mortgage is in "reverse"...you make payments within the reverse mortgage that accrue over time, and if fortunate to be very long lived, you just might outlive your reverse mortgage! Once you have done that, it simply means there will very likely not be equity in the home for any of your heirs to inherit.
The loan limit for FHA's HECM is $625,500 and the LTV is based on the age of the youngest applicant (must be 62 or older to qualify), but caps out at 75% maximum. Any other type of Reverse mortgage is considered a "portfolio" loan product. These loans do not have a standardized set of "Conforming" guidelines.. so the rules will vary based on the lender who offers it.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.
