USDA Loans: USDA loans are government-backed loans designed for borrowers purchasing homes in rural areas. They offer low interest rates and no down payment requirements.
Refinance Loans: Refinance loans allow homeowners to lower their interest rate, shorten their loan term, or access cash from their home equity.
Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs): HELOCs are lines of credit secured by a homeowner’s equity in their home. They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as home improvements, debt consolidation, or medical expenses.

The Mortgage Process

The mortgage process can seem overwhelming, but UFCU Mortgage Services is here to guide members through every step. The typical process involves the following stages:

Pre-Approval: Getting pre-approved for a mortgage helps members understand their buying power and make a competitive offer on a home. UFCU Mortgage Services can quickly pre-approve members based on their financial information.
Loan Application: Once a member has found a home, they will need to complete a loan application. This application includes information about their income, assets, liabilities, and credit history.
Loan Underwriting: UFCU Mortgage Services will review the loan application and gather supporting documentation to ensure the member meets the loan criteria. This process typically takes several weeks.
Loan Closing: Once the loan has been approved, the member will attend a closing meeting to sign the final loan documents and receive the keys to their new home.

Tips for Getting a Mortgage

Here are some helpful tips for improving your chances of getting a mortgage:

Improve your credit score: A higher credit score typically results in lower interest rates. Make sure to pay your bills on time and keep your credit utilization low.
Save for a down payment: A larger down payment can help you qualify for a loan with a lower interest rate.
Shop around for the best rates: Compare rates from multiple lenders before choosing a mortgage.
Understand your debt-to-income ratio: Lenders consider your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) when evaluating your loan application. A lower DTI can improve your chances of getting approved.
Get pre-approved for a mortgage: Being pre-approved demonstrates to sellers that you are a serious buyer and can help you make a competitive offer.
