Your home is likely your most valuable asset, and the equity you've built can be a powerful financial tool. A home equity loan from Service Credit Union allows you to tap into that value for a variety of purposes. Unlike a traditional mortgage, a home equity loan provides a lump sum payment, offering predictable monthly payments over a fixed term.
Using your home's equity can provide the financial flexibility you need for significant life events or improvements, often at a lower interest rate than other forms of credit.
Many members use home equity loans to finance major home renovations, consolidate high-interest debt, pay for college tuition, or cover unexpected expenses. Our team can help you understand how much equity you can access and structure a loan that aligns with your financial plans, ensuring you make the most of your investment.

Manufactured homes offer an affordable and flexible path to homeownership for many individuals and families. Service Credit Union recognizes the distinct needs associated with financing these properties and provides tailored financing solutions specifically for manufactured homes. Our goal is to make homeownership accessible across a broader range of property types.
We offer competitive rates and terms for both new and pre-owned manufactured homes, whether they are situated on leased land or on land you own. Our mortgage specialists are knowledgeable about the specific requirements and appraisal processes for manufactured housing, ensuring a clear and efficient application experience. We work to simplify the process, helping you understand all aspects of the loan from application to closing.
Choosing the right mortgage involves more than just the loan amount; it also means understanding mortgage rates and terms. Service Credit Union provides insights into current market rates and helps you compare different loan structures. Fixed-rate mortgages offer stable monthly payments, while adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) can provide lower initial rates with the potential for future adjustments.
The loan term, typically 15 or 30 years, significantly impacts your monthly payment and the total interest paid over the life of the loan. A shorter term means higher monthly payments but less interest, while a longer term offers lower payments but a greater overall interest cost. Our experts will walk you through these options, helping you select the best fit for your financial situation and long-term goals.
