How does it work?
A member would apply for a home loan, after we finish the preapproval the credit union will provide a link to an online Homeownership training module through BALANCE to complete the eight hour online learning module, which must be completed prior to loan closing.

A tip from our Mortgage Officer
Divide your payment by 12 and add that amount to each monthly payment or pay half of your payment every two weeks, also known as bi-weekly payments. You’ll make one extra payment each year, saving you $24,000 and shaving four years off your mortgage.
