Conventional

Conventional loans are mortgages that are not covered by any government insurance or guarantee program, and where the loans amount does not exceed FNMA or FHLMC loan limits. These loan limits may vary from year to year.

The Credit Union currently offers up to 95% financing for most properties. Loans with less than 20% down payment, or refinanced loans with less than 20% equity in the property generally require private mortgage insurance.

Conventional loans may also be used to purchase and refinance primary and second homes.

Borrowers may choose either a fixed or an adjustable rate loan with up to 30 years to repay.

Adjustable Rate Mortgages

An Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) features a variable interest rate, which is periodically adjusted, based on the change in a financial index such as the One Year Libor, plus a margin that is established at origination. Interest rate changes are limited or capped at each adjustment and for the life of the loan. ARMs may provide the security, flexibility and affordability prospective home buyers desire. These loans are especially attractive to home buyers who plan to trade up in future years. Generally, initial interest rates are lower than fixed rate mortgages.

USAlliance Federal Credit Union currently offers 1 year, 3/1, 5/1 and 7/1 adjustable rate mortgages. The initial interest rate is fixed for a certain period, for example, a 3/1 ARM, the initial rate is fixed for the first three years and thereafter adjusts each year according to the index plus the margin.

Home Equity

 

Financing your home needs – inside as well as out.

The appearance of a home plays an important role in our lives. It’s where we want to feel most comfortable and secure. To do so, we constantly look at ways to improve it such as attractive landscaping, more lighting, better roofing, room additions, new furniture, modern electronics or a remodeled kitchen. While you might not mind spending more to beautify your home, you might prefer spending less money in the process.

That’s where affordable financing and USAlliance come into the picture. At USAlliance, you’ll find a wide range of choices when it comes to funding a home improvement project.

Home Equity Loans: A home equity loan is a one-time lump sum with a fixed rate and payment schedule. This option is ideal for financing large one-time purchases such as an addition or major remodeling.

Home Equity Line Of Credit (HELOC): A HELOC is a revolving line of credit that allows you to borrow at anytime for as much as you need simply by writing a check or transferring the funds into your checking account up to an approved amount. As you pay off the principal, you can use the credit again (like a credit card). An initial advance of $25,000 is required and minimum payment requirements for the first ten years are interest-only.

To discuss which option is best suited for your needs, please call 800-431-2754 ext 2320 to speak to one of our trained specialists.
