Home Equity Loan
Put your equity to work.
Use your home equity to increase its value or as a low-rate, cost-effective loan.
Get the money you need in a convenient, single payout for debt consolidation, home improvements, medical expenses, and more. With great terms and low rates, you can borrow up to $500,000.
Make home improvements
Ready to make that big kitchen renovation? Or finally turn your basement into a home office? Your equity is calculated by subtracting your mortgage balance from your home’s appraised value so this could be a lot of cash to spend on any project you choose.
Pay college tuition
Is your child headed to college soon? It might be a great time to tap into the equity of your home to cover the cost of tuition, room and board, books, and so much more.
Consolidate your debt
Combine your high-interest debt to create one monthly low-interest payment with your home’s equity. This is a great option if you’re having trouble paying other bills because of added interest.
Emergency expenses
If you can’t access any other cash reserves, your home’s equity can be a great way to stay afloat until you get back on your feet.

Our members say the nicest things.
I moved to Washington, DC in 1994 to take a position with the Peace Corps. I was so fortunate to learn that Peace Corps staff were eligible to become members of LFCU. After a few years in Washington I was ready to purchase a condo in Arlington and approached LFCU about obtaining a mortgage. My previous experiences with mortgages from a bank had been slow and difficult to understand with high interest rates. With LFCU I was so pleasantly surprised the process was much easier, the staff was much more responsive and friendly and, most importantly, the fixed rate mortgage rate was so much lower than I could have received from a bank.
