0% Down Program

HLPR Loans
Designed for first-time homebuyers, the SCU HLPR (Home Loan Payment Relief) Loan combines a low down payment with a below market interest rate, making the HLPR a great alternative to government loan programs, such as FHA. In addition, Service Credit Union will contribute up to $1,000 toward your closing costs. This combination of low down payment and discounted closing costs makes the HLPR loan a great option for many buyers who otherwise would be frozen out of the housing market because of high monthly payments or high down payment requirements. The HLPR loan is subject to certain maximum income restrictions, based on property location.
USDA Loan
Service Credit Union is pleased to be an approved mortgage lender for the Guaranteed USDA Rural Development loans. This program provides low- and moderate-income households the opportunity to own adequate, modest, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings as their primary residence in eligible rural areas. This program provides loans at 100% financing to eligible rural homebuyers.

Jumbo Loans
Service Credit Union’s jumbo loans allow you to obtain financing that exceeds Fannie Mae’s “conforming” loan limit, at competitive rates. The conforming loan limit for 2018, for a single family or condominium, is $453,100 for most locations. Any loan above $453,100 is considered a jumbo loan. For some locations, such as Rockingham and Strafford Counties in New Hampshire and many counties in Massachusetts, the limit is higher—typically $603,750 and up. Regardless of whether or not your loan is conforming or a jumbo, Service Credit Union has a program to fit your needs.
VA Loans
VA (Veterans Affairs) Home Loans are government back mortgages programs that can help finance a home for our active and retired military members with little to no money for a down payment. These home loans programs are intended for the purchase or refinance of a primary residence.
To learn more about how you can obtain a VA Home Loan contact one of our Real Estate Loan Specialists.
Real Estate Rehab Loan
This is a unique program for members who want their purchase and home improvement funds to come from one simple mortgage loan closing. Conventionally, a home improvement, or “rehab loan,” would require some equity down by the borrower, potentially up to 20%. Not so with SCU’s REHAB loan; renovation funds are available to cover the cost of improvements on a single family home that will enhance the value and the livability of the property. For example:
– Making energy improvements
– Addressing potential health and safety issues
– Upgrading rooms and increasing resale value to build more equity
How It Works:
- This program is a fixed-rate amortizing mortgage
- A general contractor with plans and specifications are needed to use this program
- A Service Credit Union account will be used to hold the loan proceeds to fund the project with multiple disbursements
- When the renovations are complete, you continue to pay the same principle and interest that you have paid since purchasing the property
- Call today to learn about our current competitive APR and low downpayment options on this loan so that you can open the possibilities of a newly renovated home with the use of SCU’s REHAB Loan. Bring it Home!
Home Equity
Service Credit Union offers two types of equity lending: A fixed rate home equity loan or a variable rate home equity line of credit. To determine which one best suits your needs, first determine how the money will be spent.
Home Equity Loan
A fixed rate home equity loan is the better choice when you know the total amount of money you need and want to receive this money in a lump sum.
Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
A variable rate home equity line of credit is right for you when you want cash availability. This revolving line of credit enables you to access your funds by simply writing a check. (This option is available on owner-occupied property only.) You can write checks on your line of credit for up to 10 years with an additional 179-month repayment period.
