Looking for a Home Equity Loan?
Rather than drawing funds as needed, a Home Equity Loan allows you to get one lump sum, and we now offer an affordable Home Equity Loan with a fixed rate.
* Fees and Charges: SESLOC pays closing costs on line of credit amounts of $25,000 – $250,000, with automated appraisal. For loans over $250,001, closing costs range from $1,500-$2,500 and are based on the loan amount, lien position and property type. SESLOC membership required ($5 fee and $5 deposit).
** APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is a variable rate indexed to the Wall Street Journal Prime rate. Rate may increase or decrease during the loan term based on corresponding changes in the Prime Rate. Your rate is based on your credit score. The floor rate is 4% APR; your rate will never exceed 18% APR. Your minimum monthly payment during the draw period will equal the finance charges (interest) that accrued on the outstanding balance during the preceding month. Your minimum monthly payment during the repayment period (never exceed 15 years) will be set to repay the outstanding balance, at the prevailing annual percentage rate, within the repayment period. Your payment will change if the annual percentage rate increases or decreases. Your payment will never be less than the smaller of $50, or the full amount that you owe.
***Maximum loan to value or combined loan to value 80% if SESLOC CU is the first lien holder.
No prepayment penalties. Upon property title transfer (e.g. property is sold), the entire outstanding balance is due, which may result in a balloon payment. Property insurance is required. We will take a security interest in your home, and you could lose your home if you fail to meet the obligations of your loan agreement. Interest and charges may be tax deductible. Please consult a tax professional about your specific situation.

8 Ways to Use a HELOC
Your HELOC provides more flexibility to support your goals than other loan options due to the low adjustable rate, no minimum advance requirements, no prepayment penalty, and flexible repayment terms — during the initial 10-year draw period your minimum payments are interest-only, followed by a 15-year repayment period to cover any outstanding balance.*
HELOC vs Home Equity Loan: What’s the Difference?
One of the benefits of homeownership is equity. A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) or a Home Equity Loan (also know as a second mortgage) allows a homeowner to borrow money using the home’s equity as collateral.
How to Apply for a HELOC
A HELOC, or Home Equity Line of Credit, leverages your home’s equity to give you more flexibility compared to other loans — you can borrow up to your maximum credit limit, when you need it, as you need it. Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel, upgrading to energy efficient appliances, consolidating debt, or simply want the peace of mind that it’s there to cover an emergency, a HELOC is the perfect pairing for your mortgage.
