In either case, you would be better off finding and alternative reverse mortgage lender to solve your problem.

Another way in which you can benefit from being particular in your choice of a reverse home mortgage lender is that the most highly regarded ones will find ways to maximize the money for which your home qualifies, allowing your hopes for financial independence to be more fully realized.
