Mortgage Loans

* Appraisal waiver and credit details: An appraisal for a 1-unit primary residence may be waived if the valuation is accepted under the FNMA or FHLMC automated underwriting system (Desktop Underwriter or Loan Product Advisor). If the valuation is not accepted, an appraisal will be required and the appraisal fee will be waived if the loan is funded. For multi-unit, investment properties and second homes, a $500 credit will be applied towards the cost of the appraisal if the loan is funded. Non-standard fees for expedited appraisals not included and must be paid separately.

Closing cost & prepaid fee credit details: The $1,500 credit may be applied to loan closing costs (including points), settlement agent costs, recording fees, notary fees, loan-related legal fees, title insurance fees, and for certain pre-paid insurance and property taxes collected to establish an escrow impound account. The credit may not be applied to pre-pay insurance and property taxes when an escrow impound account will not be established with HSFCU, nor to pre-pay leasehold lease payments, homeowners association maintenance fees, or planned-unit development fees. For purchase transactions, seller credits, if any, must be applied toward closing costs and prepaids before the $1,500 credit may be applied toward the loan transaction costs. Any amount in excess of actual closing costs and prepaids will not be refunded or credited. The $1,500 credit will only be applied toward closing costs and prepaids on funded loans.

Required upfront application deposit: A $1,000 application deposit is required for 1-unit primary residence and second home transactions. A $1,500 deposit is required for multi-unit (2-4 units) and investment property transactions. The deposit is required before HSFCU will process the loan application. In the event of withdrawn, cancelled or denied applications, the appraisal cost will not be waived and the $1,500 credit will not be applied. Applicants will be responsible for all expenditures incurred by HSFCU. After the application deposit has been applied toward expenses, any excess will be refunded to the applicant.
