Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easiest home loan application process Of all the confusion that could've occurred, we had a very simple, straightforward experience with applying for and obtaining our home equity loan. Applying online was fast, easy and convenient. The information about next steps and what to expect and when to expect it came quickly and were very clear. We had a quick, convenient and painless closing and the funds were put in our account directly. Everyone was friendly and professional. Thank you Apple FCU for helping us achieve our goal of making our home a better one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from BEST HELOC My husband and I applied for HELOC through Apple FCU and it was the best decision we ever made. Our loan officer and processor were GREAT. Very knowledgeable and quick to respond to emails or phone calls . They stated the process time would be 3-4 weeks from start to finish but our process from start to finish took less than two weeks. Thank you Darcie & Marco for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding Home Equity Loan From my very first contact with a loan officer, all the way through to finalizing the loan, the entire process was smooth and uncomplicated, mostly because every AFCU person I dealt with was very professional and extremely helpful. It was quite a calming experience in such a vital financial transaction.

Could I get a loan with recent credit card charge offs that have been settled and paid?

Asked by: JK1960
Due to the varying conditions of underwriting, we can't say whether you would or not. Overall, we look for good/excellent credit, credit on the mend or credit being built. We look at repayment history, capacity and desire to repay, and length and types of credit history. In short, we look at the entire picture and we look at each borrower individually. We would invite you to apply 24/7 at https://loanapp.applefcu.org/.

Location: Loudoun County Home Value: $710,000 Outstanding balance: $490,000 Credit History: Excellent 1. What would be the maximum amount that I could borrow? 2. I need the funding in September of this year. When at the earliest should I apply?

Asked by: Sathya
You can finance up to $250,000 (up to 100% LTV*) with an Apple FCU Home Equity Loan, based on a complete application/credit review. Our current processing time is about 4-6 weeks, so apply mid-July-early August if you're aiming for the start of September. That timing may vary. Note that now through June 30, if you open a Home Equity Line of Credit, your approved rate will be locked until 2018; rates start as low as 2.99% APR*. The timing is similar, and you wouldn't have to take any advance on the funds until you were ready. To learn more, visit https://www.applefcu.org/AppleWeb/Promotions#heloc. To speak with a loan specialist to see which may be better for you, call 703-788-4800, option 4.

what is the difference between an equity loan and a equity line of credit ?

Asked by: JesseS
At its most basic, a line of credit (LOC) is an open-end, revolving loan. Let's say for example, you'd get approved for $30,000. You could draw and pay-down on that limit repeatedly. This could be used if you've got a number of home improvements to complete, are preparing for a wedding where you'll need to pay multiple vendors, etc. A loan on the other hand would disburse that $30,000 to you in one lump sum, with a set repayment term. In terms of your credit report, it's categorized as an installment loan. These are great if you're doing debt consolidation, or for a one-time purchase, like a deck. Rates for an LOC are variable and your payments fluctuate based on your balance. With the Loan however, the rate is fixed at the time of closing, so you have equal payments for the duration of the payback period. Should you have additional questions, it's best to speak with an equity specialist directly since they may be more specific to you. Feel free to just give us a call at 703-788-4800, option 4.
