How Home Equity Borrowing Works

Home equity is generally the difference between your home’s current value and the amount you still owe on loans secured by the property. The amount you may be able to borrow depends on P1FCU underwriting, the property, existing liens, and the approved product terms.

Home Equity Process
1. Submit a Home Equity application.

2. Provide the requested financial and property information.

3. Complete any required property valuation or title review

4. Review the approved amount, rate, repayment terms and disclosures.

5. Complete closing requirements before funds or line access become available.
