This mortgage is perfect for growing families or near-retirees who expect to move within 15 years.

• Down payments as low as 3% (5% in California) for first-time homebuyers
• Lower rates and closing costs than a fixed rate mortgage
• Your rate will only adjust once during the life of the loan and is capped at 6% above your loan origination rate

Your fixed rate mortgage will be serviced by SLFCU – from application and processing to closing the loan and beyond. When you make a payment or have a question, you’ll talk to the professional, friendly staff at SLFCU.

LOW DOWN PAYMENTS, NO PMI

With a good credit history, you can put down as little as 5% in most markets; for lower credit scores, a 10% down payment is required. SLFCU can loan 80% on a first fixed-rate mortgage and finance the rest with an adjustable rate second mortgage. With this loan structuring, you avoid paying Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).

Consider this mortgage if you are looking for long-term rate and payment stability.

This mortgage is ideal for homebuyers shopping in expensive housing markets, such as California.

ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGES

Our ARM gives you competitive interest rates, low closing costs, and guaranteed payments for one-year periods. Rates are much more stable than the those you'd find on other ARMs because they are based on a six-month moving average of the slow moving 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note.

NON-OWNER-OCCUPIED MORTGAGES AND EQUITY CREDITLINES

If you're a real estate investor, take advantage of our Non-Owner-Occupied Mortgage Loan or Equity CreditLines with money-saving closing costs to cover repairs, upgrades, or anything you need.

Qualified California home buyers can take advantage of down payments as low as 5% and no private mortgage insurance by combining this 5/5 second mortgage with an SLFCU fixed rate mortgage, 15/15 ARM, or 5/5 ARM.
