Home Equity Loans
A Home Equity Loan can be the answer for a variety of financial needs.
We offer two types of Home Equity Loans that are easy to apply for. Money from these loans can be used for virtually any purpose such as: consolidating debt, financing home improvements, paying for tuition – even taking a much needed vacation.
There are NO prepayment penalties (provided that you do not close out your account within one year of start date) and the interest may be tax deductible! (Consult a tax professional for details).
A Fixed-Rate Home Equity Loan
With a Fixed-Rate Home Equity Loan, you can borrow up to 90% (up to $250,000) of your home’s equity and have a choice of repayment terms up to 180 months. Your rate is determined by the Prime Lending Rate at its index plus a margin, credit history and the number of years the loan is financed. Home equity loan can be used as a main mortgage; however, you can’t purchase a home using a home equity loan, you can only use a home equity loan to refinance. To make this even more affordable, we’ll waive up to $500 in closing costs when you borrow $10,000 or more!
A Variable Rate Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
Rates are determined by your credit history and the Loan to Value (LTV) ratio. We’ve simplified the process to use your HELOC. To take an advance, you’ll simply use the checkbook provided so that you can pay for purchases on the spot when you need to. That’s how simple it is to take an advance on the loan!
