The Westlake picture
Why the math often works here
The 78746 corridor - Westlake, West Lake Hills, and Rollingwood - is Central Texas's highest-value ZIP. Standard HECMs almost always require a jumbo/proprietary reverse mortgage here, and the strategy is typically portfolio-protection rather than cash-flow relief.
A real Westlake scenario

Westlake FAQs
Questions from Westlake homeowners
- Do wealthy Westlake retirees actually use reverse mortgages?
- Yes - increasingly. Academic research (Wade Pfau, Barry Sacks) documents reverse mortgages as a legitimate portfolio-protection tool for high-net-worth retirees. In Westlake, the goal is rarely cash flow; it is sequence-of-returns protection and tax-efficient spending.
