20-Year Mortgages

How large a down payment do I need?
Unlike most other lenders, we offer an option to only have a 5% down payment with no personal mortgage insurance (PMI). Everyone's situation is different though, so it's best to connect with our mortgage lending team so we can help you find the right home loan that best meets your financial needs.
What are the first steps to getting a mortgage?
- Get started above, or give us a call! A consultation with one of our mortgage lending specialists will lead to you getting pre-qualified for a loan.
- Our mortgage lending team can find out what loan amount you may qualify for and help you pick the best type of loan for you to buy the home of your dreams.
- They can also help you create a strategy for coming up with a down payment and getting your finances in order as you work towards buying your new home.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a 30-year fixed mortgage?
For advantages, you'll typically have a lower payment option because your payments are spread out over many more years. They also give you the best tax advantage, since interest on home mortgages is often tax-deductible. The best benefit, however, comes with getting a 30-year mortgage* from a lender like CUTX that charges no pre-payment penalty. With a 30-year loan you are obligated to a small payment, but you have the option of paying extra on your premium when you have it. This pays the loan off more quickly, rapidly builds equity, and reduces your overall interest expense. This can help with the biggest disadvantage of a 30-year mortgage, which is the accrual of more interest than with shorter-term mortgages.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a 15-year mortgage?
You can save thousands of dollars in interest, build equity quickly, and at the end of 15 years* you’re virtually free from one of the biggest life expenses. Plus, you can often get a lower interest rate for 15-year mortgages. On the other hand, that reduces your tax benefit if you’re eligible to deduct the interest from your mortgage. And 15-year mortgage payments are significantly more expensive every month—though not double.
Why CUTX?
I simply love this credit union location. My family has gotten several auto loans and personal loans there. I have been a member for over 30 years and my children have accounts also.
