MORTGAGE REFINANCE

Refinancing your existing mortgage can be a great option for you. Benefits may include lowering your rate, reducing your monthly payment or changing the term of your loan. Plan to be in your home long enough to benefit from the savings that a lower interest rate or payment could bring?

Refinancing might just be a great option for you!

Cash Out Refinance: A cash-out refinance allows you to use your home as collateral for a new loan, creating a new mortgage. This new mortgage pays off your current mortgage balance (if you have one), and you get paid the difference in cash. By cashing out you are tapping into the equity in your property. Cash out refinances are also applicable to those that do not have a mortgage.  Speak to one of our Mortgage Loan Originators for more information!

Rate & Term: If you started out with a longer term mortgage such as a 30 - year fixed, you may want to reduce your term or change the type of mortgage you have in order to pay off your loan faster. 

Land Loan Refinance: Land Loans - sometimes referred to as a lot loan – can be used refinance your existing land loan. If your current land loan has a higher interest rate, it might be a good time to refinance. Speak to one of our Mortgage Loan Originators for more information!

WHEN SHOULD I CONSIDER REFINANCING?

1.

Current Mortgage Rate is High:


If you took out a mortgage in a higher rate environment, but you are now in a lower-rate environment, it might be a good time to refinance and save on interest. 

2.

Want to Tap into Home Equity


When refinancing, you have the opportunity to tap into your home’s equity and use the extra cash you save in the refinancing process to pay off high-interest debt, fund a large purchase, or have easy access to cash when needed.

CONVENTIONAL MORTGAGES

Conventional loans are one of the most common mortgage types. Conventional mortgages offer stability through fixed rates as well as flexibilty through adjustable rate options. While you can have as little as just 3% down payment, you can avoid paying private mortgage insurance (PMI) if your down payment is 20% or more. This can save you hundreds of dollars on your monthly mortgage payment.

Fixed Rate Mortgages: We offer fixed rate mortgages at 30, 20, 15 and 10 year terms. Fixed rate mortgages provide consistent expectations over the life of your loan. You lock in at a fixed rate that will not change, and provides many buyers peace of mind during market fluctuations. 

Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM): We offer adjustable rate mortgages at 7/1 and 5/1  terms. ARMs offer a variable rate for a fixed amount of time. Once the fixed time passes, your rate is subject to change over the life of your loan. ARMs typically come with lower rates than those of fixed-rate mortgages. 

Portfolio Loan: Need help in financing a purchase that is a little outside the standard or conventional mortgage? HFCU can help you. With financing options available to you and the comfort of knowing your mortgage is always held with HFCU, a portfolio loan might be right for your unique situation. Speak with one of our MLOs to see what can be done for your particular needs. 

OTHER MORTGAGE OPTIONS

From Land Loans , Home Ready Loans and Portfolio Loans to Government based options such as FHA and VA loans, we have the options you need.  

Land Loan: Land Loans - sometimes referred to as a lot loan – is used to finance the purchase of a plot of land or to refinance your existing land loan. You can take out a land loan if you’re interested in buying a piece of land to build a home or use for business purposes. The type of loan you take out will depend on where you’re buying land and how you intend to use the land. This is different from a construction loan. 

Home Ready Loan: A loan product available to first-time or repeat home buyers that meet median income limits. These median income limits are based on the area in which a person resides, but tends to mean that you have a lower income.  The borrower qualifies for a lower down payment and Private Mortgage Insurance Discounts. Down Payment is at 3%. Contact an HFCU Mortgage Loan Officer (MLO) to discuss options.

Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Loan: FHA loans have various qualifying requirements. They require a low down payment and FICO® score, but they can cost more over time because they require you to pay a fee called mortgage insurance. You can get an FHA loan from any FHA-approved lender. These loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).

Veteran Affairs (VA) Loan: VA loans are exclusively for veterans, eligible surviving spouses and active-duty service members. VA loans offer the opportunity to buy a home with no down payment or private mortgage insurance. Veterans Affairs (VA) loans allow for 100% financing of the appraised value on 1-to-4 unit, owner-occupied property. You must be an eligible veteran. And down payment ranges from 0-5%.
