Home Equity Loan (also known as a 2nd Mortgage) – Kern FCU will help you borrow from the equity you have built up in your home with a fixed rate loan. Make your investment work for you and enjoy a tax benefit because often home equity loan borrowers can write off interest charges (tax laws subject to change).*
Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) – Different from the Home Equity Loan, a HELOC is a revolving line of credit with a variable interest rate. With this line of credit funds remain available for immediate use or future needs.
Both options provide:
Potential tax deductions
No prepayment penalties
No appraisal or title search fees
Low interest rates and convenient financing
Personalized, friendly service that you have come to value from Kern FCU
It just doesn’t make sense to finance your home with anyone else but Kern FCU. Flexible terms, low interest rates and our trademark customer service guarantee an exceptional outcome. Unlock the potential in your home by obtaining a loan through Kern FCU.
For current rates and terms, please call the branch at (661) 327-9461.
