First Mortgage FOR PURCHASE OR Home Refinance

Dade County Federal Credit Union is proud to offer a variety of First Mortgage products, including Conventional Fixed Rate, Jumbo Fixed Rate, FHA Fixed Rate & VA Fixed Rate loans.

  • Conventional Conforming Mortgages are loans that meet the guidelines and loan limits of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (government-sponsored agencies that establish guidelines for mortgage lenders).  Most mortgages in the U.S. conform to these guidelines and are considered conventional loans.  Low down payments of as little as 3% are available for qualified borrowers.  Loans with an LTV of more than 80% will require mortgage insurance.

  • A Jumbo Mortgage exceeds the loan limits established by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  If interested in a Jumbo mortgage, contact DCFCU’s mortgage department for the current limit, which generally changes annually.  Since Jumbo loans exceed these guidelines, the interest rates are generally higher than a conventional conforming loan.

  • FHA (Federal Housing Administration) mortgage is insured by the U.S. government and must comply with FHA guidelines and loan limits (which differ from Conventional and VA).  It is known for low down payment mortgages.  FHA loans are popular with first-time homebuyers with limited cash available. 

  • VA (Veteran’s Administration) Mortgages have many benefits and allow service members, Veterans and select spouses to take advantage of little or no down payment requirements, no monthly mortgage insurance, and up to 100% financing.

With a DCFCU fixed-rate mortgage, you’ll rest assured that your interest rate is guaranteed to remain fixed for the length of the loan. Allowing you to always know what your monthly principal and interest payments will be. DCFCU offers fixed-rate mortgages with terms of 15 or 30 years for FHA and VA mortgages and 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 years for Conventional and Jumbo mortgages.

First Mortgages are available for your single-family home, townhouse, or villa. No condominiums. No manufactured housing. No vacant land.
