Escrow

Your neighborly credit union is happy to announce that members with a first mortgage through RBCU may establish an escrow account to pay for property taxes and/or hazard insurance (each, an “Escrowed Item”).

The purpose of an escrow account is to place a portion of the yearly amount due for an Escrowed Item into the account for payment(s) in the future.

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
You work hard on your home – isn’t it time it paid you back? Use your home’s equity to pay for college educations, home improvements, debt consolidation, or for nearly anything else you can imagine. RBCU's HELOC requires no minimum balance and charges no fees for taking advances. You may qualify for a no closing cost option on a HELOCs up to $25,000. Instead of receiving one lump sum loan, with a HELOC, you only borrow what you need, when you need it. RBCU offers options for up to 80% loan-to-value and over 80% loan-to-value. Remember, home loan interest may be tax deductible. Consult a tax advisor regarding your specific situation.


Fixed-Rate Home Equity Loan
In today's rate environment, a Fixed-Rate Home Equity Loan appeals to some members more than the variable rate HELOC option. Especially if you intend to use the money all at once for a major purchase, remodeling project, or to refinance an existing loan.

With a Fixed-Rate Home Equity Loan, you will receive a lump sum amount with interest rates fixed for 5 years at a time. You can borrow on a 15-year or 20-year payment schedule depending on your situation.

Some things to consider:

  • If you have a HELOC or credit card(s) with variable rates and are concerned with rising interest rates, a fixed rate may be a good solution.
  • A 15-year term may have a higher monthly payment vs. the 20-year option, but you'll pay less in overall finance charges over the life of the loan.
  • RBCU offers loan rates using 80% or 90% of your Loan-to-Value (LTV). Remember, home loan interest may be tax deductible. Consult a tax advisor regarding your specific situation.
  • These loans are available when using your personal residence or vacation home in Minnesota.

Talk to RBCU's real estate loan experts for more information on the option(s) right for you. You can also obtain more information regarding mortgage loan options, view current interest rates, use mortgage related calculators, and even apply for a mortgage by going to our online Mortgage Center.
