The reverse mortgage lenders will vary depending on the type of reverse mortgage that is being availed. For example, in single purpose mortgage, the lenders will primarily be non profit or state or local government organizations. For federally insured mortgage, the lender would be the department of Housing and Urban Development. In the third case of proprietary reverse mortgages, the lenders are mostly private companies.
