Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit ...
Which is Right for You?
Many homeowners wonder about the benefits and differences between home equity loans and lines of credit. View a chart outlining the differences.
Home Equity Loans
Put the equity in your home to work for you when you need money for most any purpose including:
- Home remodeling
- Vehicle purchase
- Bill consolidation
- Education expenses and more!
The interest is generally tax deductible (see your tax advisor for details). We have fixed and variable rates available as well as no-point and no-points no fee options.
- Lower your rate by lowering your loan-to-value ratio
- Enjoy repayment terms up to 180 months
- Finance up to 90% of the appraised value for fixed home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (minus any first mortgage loan balance on owner-occupied dwellings up to $500,000)
- For non-owner-occupied dwellings, finance up to 80%, fixed or line of credit, (minus any first mortgage loan balance) up to $300,000. Find terms and conditions here.
- We offer rate discounts for automatic payments and no prepayment penalties (except Better than Prime for Life)
If you have any questions, please call us at: (800) 479-7928 or visit an RCU branch.
Credit Life and Disability Insurance
For extra protection and peace of mind, we offer Credit Life & Disability Insurance for most loans at a nominal charge. Premiums are added to your monthly loan payment and are financed over the term of the loan. Ask us about this important coverage for your loan.
