Mortgage FAQs
- What down payment options are available for first-time homebuyers?
Qualifying first-time homebuyers can choose from 0% down payment options like VA home loans, USDA rural housing loans, APGFCU’s 80/20 program, or low down payment options with as little as 3% to 5%.
- Are there any assistance programs available for down payment and closing costs?
Yes, there are several assistance programs, including grants from the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Maryland Mortgage Program, and APGFCU’s Homeownership Assistance Program, which help cover down payment and closing costs for eligible first-time homebuyers.
- What is a jumbo mortgage, and who qualifies for it?
A jumbo mortgage is a loan that exceeds the local limits for a conforming mortgage set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. APGFCU offers jumbo loans for higher-value properties in MD, PA, DE, NJ, VA, NC, SC, FL and the District of Columbia.
- What are the advantages of a fixed-rate mortgage for homebuyers?
A fixed-rate mortgage offers stability, with consistent monthly payments throughout the life of the loan. This predictability can make budgeting easier, as your principal and interest payments won't change over time, regardless of fluctuations in interest rates. It's an ideal choice if you plan to stay in your home long-term.
- What are the benefits of choosing a HELOC over a Home Equity Loan?
A HELOC allows you to borrow funds as needed up to your credit limit over a fixed “draw” period, making it ideal for managing ongoing expenses or projects. Unlike a home equity loan, which provides a lump sum with fixed payments, a HELOC has a variable interest rate and can be more cost-effective if you only borrow occasionally.
- Why should I choose a credit union for my home loan instead of another mortgage lender?
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives that are co-owned by their members. This structure allows credit unions to return more of their earnings directly to you, rather than to external investors. As a result, you can benefit from lower loan rates and fewer fees.
