Mortgage Options

Conventional Loan

A conventional loan is our most popular mortgage option for members looking to purchase or refinance a home. They conform to the loan limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Administration (FHFA). They feature low down payment options, and are eligible for second home and income properties.

FHA Loan

An FHA loan is a mortgage loan issued by federally qualified lenders and backed by the Federal Housing Administration. Designed for low-to-moderate income borrowers who are unable to make a large down payment— they are typically more flexible in credit and income requirements than conventional loans.

VA Loan

A VA loan is a mortgage that is backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs for veterans, active military personnel and military spouses who qualify. With no down payment requirement, no monthly mortgage insurance requirement and competitive interest rates, it's a great choice for eligible applicants.

USDA Loans

USDA loans are mortgages for homes in eligible rural areas and are backed by the United States Department of Agriculture. USDA loans are geared towards low-to-moderate income families looking to finance a home. They have flexible credit guidelines, offer low interest rates and no down payment is required.

Jumbo Loans

A jumbo mortgage is a home loan for an amount that exceeds conforming loans limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). These loans are designed to finance luxury homes as well as properties in highly competitive real estate markets. Loan amounts up to $2 million are available for qualified borrowers.

Mortgage Refinance

If you're looking to lower your monthly payment, shorten your loan term or get cash out of your property for repairs or unexpected expenses, refinancing your mortgage is a great option. With specialized programs like the VA IRRRL and FHA Streamline, we can help.
