Pre-Qualification

Before you head out with your real estate agent, it is wise to know how much house you can afford. Getting prequalified starts with our mortgage experts assessing your current credit and income situation. Next, we crunch the numbers and determine how much you can borrow.

Equipped with this knowledge, you can shop for your dream house. And once you have found it, you can present your Pre-Qualification Letter with your bid, giving your sellers a high level of confidence in your ability to complete the purchase.

Home Equity and Cash Out Refinance Loans

APPLY NOW

CAPITALIZE ON THE VALUE YOU'VE BUILT UP IN YOUR PROPERTY

You’ve owned your home for a while and discover there’s “equity” built up in your property, and you realize that you would like to tap into that source of money to make renovations to your home, help your kids pay for college, take a long-awaited vacation, or — well, the list of possibilities goes on! So how do you get the cash out of your home? With a Home Equity Loan or a Cash Out Refinance.

For both types of loans, how much you can borrow depends on three factors:

  1. the current market value of your home

  2. the balance on your existing mortgage

  3. the amount of any other liens (more than likely, you won’t have any of these)

Once you know the current market value of your home, multiply it by 80%. From that number, subtract the payoff amount for your existing mortgage and liens. For instance:

  • Market Value = $400,000

  • 80% = $320,000

  • Mortgage = $100,000

  • Liens = $0

  • $320,00 - $100,00 = $220,000. This is the maximum amount you may be able to finance.

Now it’s decision time. Which solution is right for you?

  • Home Equity Loan: if you choose a Home Equity Loan, your original mortgage stays in place and you now have two loans: your mortgage and your Home Equity Loan.

  • Cash Out Refinance: if you choose a Cash Out Refinance, your original mortgage is paid off and you now have only one loan: your Cash Out Refinance.

Whether you’re considering remodeling, a new car, a bucket-list trip, or something else, 1st UCU Mortgage Services can help you turn your home’s equity into cash.
