Easy solution to managing homeowner expenses

When it’s time to pay your property tax and homeowners insurance, LGFCU’s got you covered with a dividend-earning escrow account. Each time you pay your mortgage, a little money goes into that account, which we use to cover those expenses.

How our fixed-rate loan works

The maximum loan amount depends on the loan's purpose, the type of loan and the occupancy status of the home. For home purchases or a refinance, the maximum amount you can borrow, and your loan-to-value financing tier, are determined by either the sales price or appraised value, whichever is less.

The loan-to-value ratio is the portion of the appraised value of the property not covered by your down payment.

For the purchase of or no cash-out refinance of a primary residence, 100% financing is available up to a total purchase or refinance price of $500,000. Closings on most loan refinancing may be completed online or at your local branch. 

Mortgage rates are set by the LGFCU Board of Directors and are subject to change daily.

Upfront costs and fees

Costs or fees may arise during the mortgage loan process. At the time of application, your Credit Union loan officer will provide a loan estimate of settlement costs involved with the mortgage process, such as appraisal fee, origination fee, attorney fees, recording fees, title insurance costs, and survey and pest inspection costs (typically not required). The origination fee is 1% of the loan amount with a cap of $2,500.

Using one of LGFCU’s mortgage calculators is an easy way to see how much home you can afford or to compare two mortgages.
