FAQ

A Home Equity Loan is similar to your first mortgage and is set for a specific loan amount to be repaid with fixed monthly payments. This type of loan is sometimes called a “second mortgage.” Home Equity Loan interest rates are fixed and fully amortized.

DMCU offers a 5-year loan (minimum $5,000)

10 years ($10,000)
15 years ($20,000)

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a credit line from which you can access at
your convenience and withdraw funds up to your maximum credit line. Our HELOC
offers a variable rate with a 10-year draw period.

Generally, credit cards and personal loans have higher interest rates than a Home Equity Loan or HELOC.
At DMCU, our Home Equity Loan starts below the prime rate.
If you’re in need of a large sum of money and you have a good deal of equity in your
home, you’ll typically save more in interest with a Home Equity Loan.

Home Equity Loan or a HELOC are perfect for:

Home improvements
Medical bills
Family vacation
College education
Start a new business
Debt consolidation

Generally, a homeowner can borrow up to 80% of the home’s value minus the current mortgage balance. At DMCU, we offer up to 100%, however, the borrower must qualify for this option and purchase a separate insurance policy.

You can get a rough estimate of the available equity by subtracting all the debts secured by your home (i.e., your mortgage and any other home equity loans) from your home estimated market value. For example, if the market value of your home is $200,000 and you owe $100,000, you have $100,000 in home equity.
