Disclosures

  1. Home equity lines of credit can only be used on a primary residence. Property insurance is required for all home equity lines of credit. For a home equity line of credit exceeding $50,000, you will be responsible for closing costs.
  2. No closing costs are required if the line remains open for over 36 months from the day of funding. In the event the line of credit is closed within 36 months, you will be required to pay any closing costs at that time.

Eligibility for specific loan program options is dependent on several factors, including credit profile and down payment amount. Speak with a mortgage representative to learn more.

Disclaimer: Housing counseling agencies approved by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) can offer independent advice about whether a particular set of mortgage loan terms is a good fit based on your objectives and circumstances, often at little or no cost. If you are interested in contacting a HUD-approved housing counseling agency in your area, you can visit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) website and enter your zip code. You can also access HUD’s housing counseling agency website. For additional assistance with locating a housing counseling agency, call the CFPB at 1-855-411-CFPB (2372).
