ARE YOU HAPPILY MORTGAGED?
HOME LOANS
Mortgages designed just for you. We offer a variety of options along with personalized service to find a home loan that best fits your needs.
Very few people today buy or finance their homes with out-of-pocket cash. That is why home loans are essential to financial planning and securing a permanent residence for your family or investments. A home loan helps you multiply your savings in home-buying power and then pay the home’s total value over time while enjoying the privileges of homeownership.
There are several different home loan types in the financial industry. Here at the Auburn University Credit Union, we offer a variety of home loan options along with personalized services to find the home loan that best fits your needs.

Refinance Your Mortgage
Refinancing your mortgage allows you to capture a better interest rate and restart the 15-30 year clock on your mortgage repayment. Keep the equity you already have and negotiate for a smaller mortgage at a better rate. You also have the chance to quickly claim more equity by investing some of your developed savings into a larger refinanced mortgage down payment.

How much will my loan payments be?
Home Equity Loans
A home equity loan is a unique type of home loan for current homeowners who have been paying their mortgage for some time. The equity in your home is how much of the house you own. Your home equity value equals your down payment plus all mortgage payments less the interest rate. A home equity loan allows you to use the amount you’ve already paid on your house as collateral for a loan.
Home equity loans are often used to re-invest in your house through renovation projects like significant repairs and value-increasing home improvements. Repaying the loan does not affect your mortgage, while defaulting would only roll back the clock on completing your mortgage payments.
- Borrow up to 90% of the value of your home (less your first mortgage)
- Fixed terms ranging from 5 or 10 years
- Conventional mortgage loan features
- Draw on your current equity without altering your first mortgage
Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
A Home Equity Line of Credit, or HELOC, differs slightly from a Home Equity loan. A HELOC makes the same amount of money (90% of home value) available. The rest of your equity can remain untouched but available if you need it for the duration of the HELOC. Still, as a line of credit, you only have to draw and repay what you need. You also only pay loan interest on the amount you withdraw.
HELOCs are popular for home renovations and are ideal when you are not sure how much you will need, if you don’t want to overspend, or if you plan to conduct a cost-efficient home renovation over time.
- Traditional HELOC
- 10-year term
- Variable Rate
- Payment is equal to $15 per thousand borrowed
- 5-Year Balloon / Interest-Only HELOC
- 5-year term
- Variable rate
- Interest-only payments
Land-Only Equity Loans
Home equity loans and HELOCs relate specifically to land with a constructed home. However, we also offer “land only” equity loans if you desire equity financing on land. Land equity loans offer terms up to 12 years and up to 80% of the land’s value based on acreage. The interest rates for a land-only equity loan are closely matched to equity loan interest on a first mortgage.
