Home Equity Line of Credit

Maximize your hard-earned value!

For a limited time, you can save even more with an exclusive .25% APR** discount on a low-rate home equity line of credit.

Our home equity lines of credit -- or HELOCs -- are open-end loans based on the value of your residence minus your mortgage balance. Eligible members can use these funds for substantial home improvements, large expenses and other needs.

We offer standard options that let you draw from up to 80% of your home's equity, whereas our ideal line allows you to borrow up to 100% of the value.

Other America First HELOC benefits:

  • Low monthly payments
  • Competitive rates
  • Interest paid may be tax-deductible*
  • Free online financial calculators

Ideal for members with at least 20% equity in their home looking for increased short term cash flow. We offer low variable rates with interest-only payments for the first 5 years for greater convenience. Ask one of our representatives about getting started
