PURCHASE, N.Y., July 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Quorum Federal Credit Union, a full-service financial institution serving over 75,000 members across all 50 states, has expanded its popular Home Equity Line of Credit products to include investment properties. Now, individuals who own or are looking to purchase a rental property can get up to $250,000.

Known for straightforward pricing and personalized service, Quorum now offers a new source of cash to purchase properties, renovate homes or pay for college. Individuals can borrow up to 80% of an investment property's appraised value at rates as low as 6.25% APR*. Eligible properties include non-owner occupied 1-4 family homes, condominiums, planned unit developments and townhouses.

"We're always looking for innovative ways to help members achieve their financial goals," says Tyson Blackburn, Vice President of Lending. "That's why this option is even open to individuals who are purchasing their first investment property. You can close on our home equity line at the same time as your first mortgage, and use the additional cash to help cover your down payment and closing costs."

Under the terms, borrowers can make interest-only payments for the first five years, followed by a 10-year repayment period. There are no pre-payment penalties. Individuals will become a member of the Credit Union as part of the application process.

"A rental property can be a smart investment, but it can be hard to tie up so much cash in one place," Blackburn adds. "We're providing consumers with a fresh option, so they can take advantage of opportunities that are right for them."
