Have good a good credit score and a steady income? Then this may be the best option for you. Conventional mortgages often offer lower closing costs and a variety of terms from 10, 15, 20, even 30-year fixed rates.
Who are conventional loans best for?
A Conventional loan is often the best option for borrowers with strong credit who can contribute a down payment of at least 3%, or perhaps quite a bit more.
We offer several types of government-based loans, providing more flexible credit guidelines while still offering attractive rates.
- FHA Loans: These loans are insured by the government. They have easier credit qualifying guidelines and lower down payment requirements. Your down payment can be a gift from a family member or can even be borrowed.* An FHA loan will likely offer the best rates if your credit score is on the lower end of the scale.
- VA Loans: Financing available to eligible veterans and active-duty service members to help purchase properties with no down payment and no private mortgage insurance (PMI).
- USDA: A loan for rural families and individuals with low and moderate-income, assisting in qualifying the borrower for mortgages even without a down payment.

Mortgage FAQs
How can you offer some of the best mortgage rates in Ohio?
As a not-for profit we exist to serve our members’ credit needs, not just generate a profit. Since we don’t sell most of our mortgages, we have more control over our rates
Should I use a credit union for a mortgage?
We think so! Credit unions are often locally based organizations with a pulse on the housing market in your city. Not to mention, credit unions like FFCCU are not for profit, and you are a member, not a customer. Because of this, you can expect better customer service, more savings, and fewer complications!

What are the different types of mortgage lenders?
Banks and credit unions are considered direct mortgage lenders. Credit unions can provide many financial products and services, from savings to lending. A mortgage broker and mortgage companies exist solely to offer home lending solutions. Our members prefer using credit unions for their loan needs because of the service, rates, experience, and trust we provide. Stop by one of our local branch offices today to learn more.
How much can I afford?
Income, current debts, loan term, and your anticipated down payment amount can help you find how much you can afford. You should also focus on what you can afford as your monthly payments. Check out our loan calculator to help you determine how much you can afford to borrow. For more information, schedule a meeting with our mortgage loan originator today.
