1. Mortgage insurance is required if the loan exceeds 80% of the property's value. Mortgage insurance protects the lender against losses resulting from default. Loan proceeds from a refinance that requires mortgage insurance may only be used to pay-off existing loans secured by the property and closing costs.

2. Maximum real estate loan(s) to any one member is $2,000,000 (cumulative total). The maximum percent financed is calculated by dividing the loan amount by the property's value. The property's value for purchase transactions is the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price.
