To find answers click on the questions below:
What is home equity?
Home equity is the difference between the value of a home and what is still owed on the existing mortgage. A percentage of the difference can be taken as a home equity loan.
Example: if the market value of your home is $200,000, and you owe $150,000 on the mortgage with the option to borrow up to a loan-to-value (LTV7) of 90%, you would be able to borrow $30,000 in equity ($200,000 x 90% = $180,000 - $150,000 =
$30,000).
What is a home equity
loan?
A home equity loan allows you to borrow up to a certain loan-to-value (LTV7) percentage. The eligible LTV is based on your credit and lien position. A home equity loan allows you to borrow that eligible amount to help pay
for larger expenses.
What are some common uses for home equity loans?
A home equity loan can be used for anything! Common uses are home improvements, debt consolidation, college education, or even a vacation.
Is the interest I pay on the loan tax deductible?
Interest you pay on a loan that is secured by your primary residence may be tax deductible. Please consult with a tax advisor to determine whether the interest you pay is eligible.
Do you have closing costs or other fees on your home equity loan?
No. CCU takes care of the closing costs, unless the property is a rental property1. You are responsible for paying the closing costs if using a rental property
as collateral for the home equity loan. This includes the cost of your home appraisal.
How fast can I get my money?
It typically takes about 2 to 4 weeks from time of application to funding, but that can vary depending on your individual situation. Be sure to promptly respond to requests for documents and additional
information needed to complete your application, this will help insure the fastest turn-around time possible.
Do I need to get a home appraisal?
Yes – an appraisal is required to obtain an opinion of the value of your home. Appraisals are completed by a licensed appraiser, independent of CCU. The appraised value of your home is primarily
based on the sale prices of similar homes in the immediate neighborhood. Your home appraisal is included in the closing costs1, which CCU covers.
What would increase the value of my home?
Added square footage to your home such as a great room, new bedroom or bathroom; remodeling of kitchen or bathroom, or adding a garage may add value to your home.
What adds no additional value to my home?
Items not considered to increase home value includes anything that is maintenance such as a roof, furnace, or carpet.
What states do you offer Home Equity loans in?
CCU offers home equity loans for properties in AZ, CO, CT, DE, FL, IL, KY, MD, MA, MI, MO, NJ, NY, NC, OH, PA, SC, TN, VA, WV, and WI.
What is loan-to-value ratio (LTV7)?
Your LTV is calculated by dividing what you owe on your home with what your home is worth. Here‘s the basic loan-to-value ratio formula:
Current loan balance ÷ Current appraised value = LTV. This ratio is used to determine how much equity you may be eligible to borrow against your home.
Example: If you have a loan balance of $140,000, and your home appraises for $200,000, your loan-to-value equation would look like this:
$140,000 ÷ $200,000 = .70
You’ll then want to convert .70 to a percentage and that gives you a LTV ratio of 70%.
