PICTURE YOUR DREAM

If you know what you want in a future home, it will be easier to make plans! Consider the area you want to live in, the size of your dream home, and any important features or amenities. Just remember to stay flexible! The housing market changes all the time, and you never know what might be available when you're ready to buy.

DETERMINE YOUR BUDGET

Know what you can afford and what you'll need to borrow. No matter when you aim to make a purchase, the sooner you plan your finances, the smoother the process will be! Use our mortgage calculator to determine what your mortgage will look like over the life of your loan.


Frequently Asked Questions:

  • How Much Do I Need for a Home Loan Down Payment?

    The amount needed for a down payment depends on the home loan type. Some loans, such as VA loans or USDA loans, offer $0.00 down payment options for qualified borrowers. Other common loan types typically require at least 3.00% to 5.00% of the home’s purchase price saved for the down payment.

    To find the right option for your budget, talk to a KTVAECU® Loan Officer about available programs and low or no down payment choices.

  • Which Home Loan Is Right for Me?

    Every buyer’s situation is unique. We will review your goals with you to recommend the best loan option to meet your needs.

  • What Is a Credit Score?

    A credit score is a three-digit number (typically 300–850) that shows how well you manage debt. It reflects your payment history, credit usage, and overall financial behavior.

    When applying for a home loan, your credit score helps determine your loan eligibility, interest rate, and which mortgage is right for you. A higher score often means better rates and more loan options, which saves you money over time.

  • How Does Credit Affect My Home Loan Options?

    Your credit score plays a major role in the home loans you qualify for and the interest rate you receive. Want to know your score? Log in to online or mobile banking to check it for FREE—just one of your many Member perks.

  • What Is PMI, and Will I Need to Pay for It?

    PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) protects lenders when buyers put down less than 20.00%. We offers no PMI loan options with many in-house home loans.
