Skip the PMI, Not the Dream

PCMCU offers a unique program that requires only 10% down to avoid paying PMI on home loans for purchase. It is standard in the mortgage industry to pay for Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) when you buy a home with less than 20% down. PMI is a premium paid to an insurance company that offers coverage to the lender in case of default and loss. This added cost increases a buyer’s loan amount and/or monthly payment, but not if you finance at PCMCU with 10% down.

Home Loans

Choose the loan that best meets your needs.

Fixed Rates

Offers consistent monthly payments with an interest rate that never changes. It’s a stable, predictable option perfect for long-term planning and budgeting.

  • Terms up to 20 years serviced locally by PCMCU
  • Fannie Mae loans available up to 30 years
  • Require as little as 3% down

Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)

Starts with a lower fixed rate, then adjusts with the market. It’s a smart option if you plan to move or refinance within a few years.

  • 7/1/4 program: rate is fixed for 7 years, the maximum annual adjustment after the 7th year is 1%, and the maximum lifetime adjustment is 4%
  • Require as little as 3% down

Vacant Land

Purchase a piece of vacant land for your future home, cabin, investment, or recreational use.

  • Terms up to 20 years
  • Fixed rate or ARM options
  • 10% down, no PMI program applies
  • 20% equity required on refinanced loans

Construction

Provides short-term financing to help you build your home from the ground up, covering costs like materials, labor, and permits.

  • 12-month loan advance period
  • Ability to roll in land loans
  • Interest-only payments optional

Refinancing

Refinancing a first mortgage can be a great way to save, especially when loan rates start dropping. Take advantage of the lower payments for debt consolidation or home improvements.

Other Mortgage Options

PCMCU also has other options available 2nd mortgages, bridge loans, and owner-occupied 2-family properties. Contact a mortgage loan officer to learn more.
