Home Equity
TFCU offers you a lasting value when you apply for any of our home equity loans. Choose a home equity line of credit or fixed rate second trust with rates and terms that best suit your needs. Use the funds for any personal purpose, from vehicles and home improvements to debt consolidation and vacations.
Our revolving line of credit comes with easy cash advances with a 15-year repayment term at a competitive variable rate, perfect for large recurring expenses, like taxes or college tuition. You also may select a fixed-rate second trust for large one-time expenses like a major home improvement or debt consolidation. We even have a high loan-to-value option that allows you to finance up to 100% of your home's tax assessed or appraised value.
No matter which avenue you choose, closing costs are low and approval and settlement are quick. Interest is generally tax deductible, lowering your overall cost. Please consult your personal tax advisor for guidance.
Use this quick formula below to determine your potential borrowing power. Complete home equity rates and terms are listed in Loan Rates. You may borrow up to $100,000 with all of our home equity loans.
