Home equity loans are a great way to gain some extra cash for home improvements, debt consolidation, or other big purchases you’re looking to make. Like any loan, it’s important to understand how a home equity loan works before getting one.
You keep our communities running. Whether you’re in education, healthcare, emergency response, or the military—you deserve a loan that gives back.
What Is the Community Champion Loan?
This exclusive program offers low-down payment options for qualifying members , meaning less stress and more opportunity to move into the home you love. Enjoy incredible benefits like:
No PMI: Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is not required , which can add up to hundreds of dollars per month in savings.
Better DTI Calculations: Deferred student loans are excluded from your debt-to-income (DTI) calculations.
Flexible Down Payments: You only need 1% of your own funds , and gift funds are allowed for most of the remaining down payment.
WHY CHOOSE THE COMMUNITY CHAMPION LOAN?
Ditch the PMI
Nobody likes extra fees. Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is not required for this loan, which can save you up to hundreds of dollars per month.
Bring Just 1% To Get A Home
You only need to bring 1% of your own funds to the table. For most of the remaining down payment, gift funds are allowed.
Student Loans? No Sweat
Don’t let school debt hold you back. Deferred student loans are completely excluded from your debt-to-income (DTI) calculations to make qualifying a breeze.
Home Financing On Your Terms
We keep things flexible. Choose the exact fit for your life with 15-, 20-, and 30-year fixed options, or 5/1 and 7/1 ARMs.
Maximize Your Buying Power
Go ahead and get the house you really want. You can finance up to 99% of your primary residence’s value if it’s a detached home.
Who’s a Good Fit for This Loan?
If you’re in one of these roles, this program was built specifically for you:
Educators: Employees of public or private education institutions.
Healthcare Heroes: Medical and healthcare professionals.
Emergency Personnel: First responders.
Service Members: Active or former military personnel.
Primary Homebuyers: You must be purchasing a primary residence and have a credit score of 680 or higher.
Get Help Paying The Costs Associated with Upgrading Your Home
The average down payment in the U.S. is $55,000, which can be a crushing financial burden in the best of circumstances. Combine this with the costs often needed to upgrade/repair an existing home to sell it, and the cash needed is often beyond what the average buyer can afford. A Bridge Loan can cover these costs, without draining your savings.
