Launch Federal Credit Union announces a new First-Time Home Buyer program.
Members can now put as low as 3% down on a first mortgage. “Low rates combined with as low as a 3% down payment means owning a home is much more affordable than ever before,” says Margie Mitchell, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Launch FCU. “We have a lot of members who are renting because it’s just so hard to save 10% or even 20% for a down payment on a home purchase. We expect to see a large increase in mortgage applications with our recent move to lower the down payment.”

The program offers financing up to 97% loan-to-value with PMI required. The rate is based on credit worthiness. Members can apply online, or work with a local mortgage specialist at a branch. Membership requires a one-time $5 membership fee and $25 to open their savings account. For more information on Launch Federal Credit Union, please visit www.Launchfcu.com or call (321) 455-9400.
