Buying a house is the single largest investment most of us will make. Over time, the value built up in a home becomes a tremendous asset. Call Federal’s home equity loans allow you to turn that value into much needed cash for improvement projects, debt consolidation, college tuition, or any number of large expenses.
Key Benefits
Favorable Rate
Using the value in your home to secure your loan allows you to receive a much better interest rate on the money you’re borrowing. See current rates for all of our Home Equity products in the table below.
Unlimited Uses
Once approved, there’s no restriction on how you use your funds. Home repairs and upgrades, college tuition, debt consolidation, even paying for a wedding, are among the many kinds of the expenses made more manageable by our home equity products.
Flexible Funding & Repayment
As mentioned above, the option to make interest-only payments throughout the draw period has proven beneficial in a variety of ways. We take pride in working with our members to find the right fit for each family and situation.
