As with all financial endeavors, a good credit rating is critical. However, that is not to say that it is impossible to obtain a proprietary reverse mortgage with bad credit. You should first check your credit score to see where you are exactly and go from there. You may be able to find lenders that specifically tailor to those with poor credit.
