 Equity Term Loan

The rate on fixed-rate advances is set at the time of the advance based on your personal credit history and remains fixed until the entire advance has been repaid. With a Fixed-Rate Equity Installment Loan you get the full amount at the start of the loan and pay it down in equal payments for the term you selected. Talk to a DCU lending professional if you are constructing a new project, rehabilitating or repositioning an existing project, or funding working capital for your enterprise.

 What to Expect


A commercial loan officer will contact you within one business day after we receive your completed forms to discuss your request.
Prior to closing we may look for the property to comply with Environmental Laws, Lead Paint Laws, Smoke Alarm and Fire regulations. Also we would expect the property to be sufficiently maintained with no structural issues.

*Second mortgages only.
**The interest rate is determined by numerous factors including personal credit history, financial strength of the principals, experience of management, LTV (loan to value), NOI (net operating income), and the type and condition of the property.
***Prior to closing we may look for the property to comply with Environmental Laws, Lead Paint Laws, Smoke Alarm and Fire regulations. Also we would expect the property to be sufficient maintained with no structural issues. The closing cost quoted will be for standard transactions. Closing costs quoted may change at any time. If additional work is required, additional fees may be charged. Some reasons for additional fees will be if there are title defects that need corrections, there are environmental issues with the property, out of the ordinary legal work needs to be done, or for loans over $100,000 the value cannot be determined and an appraisal is required.
DCU will outline all the closing costs to you, if the loan is approved, prior to closing. Prepaid interest, taxes, insurance, borrower's attorney and brokers fees, and other borrower incurred costs, if any, will always be the borrower's payment responsibility.
