Seeks to help more members secure home ownership
ROME — AmeriCU Credit Union recently announced it has added mortgage loans, backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), to its suite of home-financing options.
USDA-backed mortgage loans are designed to assist low-income to moderate-income buyers in eligible rural areas. One of the key features is no down payment is required, allowing homebuyers to finance 100 percent of the home’s purchase price.
“At AmeriCU, we are committed to expanding homeownership opportunities for all our members,” Mary Leuthauser, AmeriCU’s assistant VP of mortgage-loan operations, said in the announcement. “The USDA mortgage loan program aligns with our mission to provide flexible and affordable financing solutions.”
