Home Equity Loan FAQs

Can I make additional principal payments on a HELOC?

Yes. You can make additional principal payments once your current monthly payment has been satisfied.

Do I have to pay closing costs on a fixed rate home equity loan or a home equity line of credit?

Riverview will pay for all closing costs on a HELOC. You, as the borrower, would pay closing costs on a Home Equity fixed rate loan. 

How does a HELOC work?

A HELOC is a line of credit secured by your home. As with a credit card, you can borrow as needed up to an approved credit limit. A HELOC’s term includes a draw period, followed by a repayment period. At Riverview, you can draw (or borrow) money for 10 years. Interest will accrue on what has been borrowed. Your monthly payment is interest only, but we encourage you to pay towards the principal as often as possible to avoid a large balloon payment at the end of the 10-year draw period. 

How long does it take to get a home equity loan/line of credit?

Processing times are currently estimated to take up to 45 calendar days to close on a new home equity loan or home equity line of credit (HELOC) once we receive your application. Processing times may vary if an appraisal or additional documentation is needed.

How soon will I get my money once the home equity loan or line of credit closes?

If the property used to secure your equity loan or line of credit is your primary residence, there’s a 3-business-day waiting period after closing (you can change your mind and cancel your loan during this time). Your funds or line of credit will be available after the 3-day period ends. The 3-day waiting period doesn’t apply for investment properties and second homes.

What information will I need to apply for a home equity loan or line of credit?

The easiest way to apply is by going to our website or mobile and completing the online application. Once your application is received, have these documents on hand in case your Processor requests them:

  • Most recent 30 days of paystubs
  • Retirement statements (e.g., Social Security Awards letter)
  • Proof of homeowners insurance
  • 2 years of W-2’s
  • Copy of your deed 

Additional documentation may be required if you’re self-employed. This is not an exhaustive list of documentation that may be requested.

What repayment terms are available on a Fixed-Rate Equity Loan?

Riverview offers Fixed-Rate Equity Loans with 5-, 7-, 10- and 15-year repayment terms. 

What’s home equity?

Home equity is the difference between how much you owe on your mortgage and how much your home is worth. You can build equity as you pay down your loan balance and as the market value of your home increases. Riverview has home equity loan options that could help you to use your home’s equity to help you pay for life’s big expenses.

What’s the difference between a Fixed-Rate Equity Loan and a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)?

With a Fixed-Rate Equity Loan, you receive the money you’re borrowing in a single payment, and the interest rate stays the same for the life of the loan. With a HELOC, you have the ability to borrow money whenever you need it up to your maximum credit limit. Unlike Fixed-Rate Equity Loans, HELOCs have variable interest rates.

IRA FAQs

Can I convert a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA?

Yes, but when you convert a traditional IRA to a Roth, you’ll owe taxes on any money in the traditional IRA that would have been taxed when you withdrew it. That includes the tax-deductible contributions you made to the account as well as the tax-deferred earnings that have built up over the years. That money will be taxed as income for the year you make the conversion. Please consult a tax professional to see if this option is right for you.

How do I add or change the beneficiary(ies) on my IRA?

You can add or change your beneficiaries by visiting one of our offices and completing and submitting a Designation of Beneficiary Form.

How much can I contribute to an IRA?

IRA contributions vary each year. For further information on contribution limits visit Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov) website. 

If I contribute to a 401(k), 403(b) or another employer-sponsored plan, can I also contribute to an IRA?

Yes, if you’re currently investing in a 401(k) or another employer-sponsored plan, you’re still eligible to open and contribute to an IRA.

What’s a Coverdell IRA?

A Coverdell IRA is an IRA that allows individuals to save for their child’s education. 

What’s an IRA?

An IRA is an individual retirement arrangement that may provide tax advantages for you to save for retirement. Riverview offers 3 different types of IRA plans: Traditional IRA, Roth IRA and Coverdell ESA. 

What’s the difference between a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA?

A Traditional IRA is a potentially tax-deferred plan. Depending on your income, a Traditional IRA may allow you to make tax-free contributions now and pay taxes on your withdrawals when you retire. A Roth IRA is a plan that allows you to pay taxes now and make tax-free withdrawals later. While almost anyone with earned income can contribute to a traditional IRA, there are income limits for contributing to a Roth IRA.

When can I withdraw money from my IRA account?

You can take money out of an IRA whenever you want, but if you’re under the age of 59½, there may be some penalties. If you withdraw money from a Traditional IRA, you may be faced with a 10% penalty on the amount you withdraw. If you withdraw from a Roth IRA, you have some flexibility. You may withdraw your contributions to a Roth penalty-free at any time for any reason, as long as you don’t withdraw any earnings on your investments (as opposed to the amount you put in) or dollars converted from a traditional IRA before age 59½. It’s always a good idea to consult a tax or financial advisor for specific information on how certain laws apply to your situation and about your individual financial situation.

Joint Ownership FAQs

Are joint owners considered members of Riverview?

No. A joint owner shares access to your account but isn’t necessarily a member of Riverview. To become a member, you or one of your family or household members must meet our membership requirements.

How do I add a joint owner to my account?

If you’re opening your membership with a joint owner or co-applicant, they must be present during the enrollment process in order to validate their identity. If they’re not available, you can initially open your account as an individual and then request to add them later.

Mortgage Loan FAQs

Can I be approved for a higher loan amount?

Your credit score, income and existing debts directly affect how much you qualify to borrow.

Can I pay extra toward the principal on my loan?

Yes, you can pay extra toward the principal on your loan as long as your mortgage or fixed-equity loan payments are up to date. In order to apply a payment directly to the principal please come to one of our offices. 

Can I refinance my mortgage if my original loan isn’t with Riverview?

Yes. You can refinance your mortgage with Riverview, even if the current mortgage is with another financial institution. 

Do I need a down payment?

Not always. Many of our mortgage loans are available to qualified applicants with no down payment or little down payment required.

Does Riverview have a first-time buyer program?

No, Riverview doesn’t have a first-time homebuyer program, but we do offer loan products with no down payment and no PMI that make buying a home more affordable for first-time homebuyers.

Does Riverview offer construction loans?

No, Riverview doesn’t offer funding for new construction. However, once construction is complete, you can refinance your funding into a mortgage loan with Riverview.

How do I get a prequalification letter?

After you apply for a loan, a Member Solutions Officer will review your application. Have the following documents and information for all borrowers so you’ll have them ready for the verification process.

  • W-2 forms for the last 2 years
  • Pay stubs for the last 1-3 months
  • Personal tax returns for the last 2 years
  • Social Security number
  • Monthly debt and living expenses
  • Two months of bank statements for financial institutions not with Riverview

How do I pay off my mortgage?

To pay off your mortgage, simply request a payoff quote. A payoff quote will capture the full balance due to pay off your loan. It’s important to get a payoff quote, as the principal balance of your account is different than your full payoff amount due to interest calculations, any outstanding fees and the recording fee collected to release the lien.

How long does it take to get a mortgage?

It typically takes 45-60 calendar days to close on your mortgage once you’ve submitted all required paperwork and documents. However, closing times vary based on many factors, so check with your Member Solutions Officer to better understand when you can expect to close.

How long is my prequalification letter good for?

Your prequalification letter is good for 90 days. If you are not able to find a home within that timeframe, we encourage you to reapply.

I made a payment, but my balance only decreased a fraction of the amount. Why is that?

Your monthly payment is divided and applied to both your principal balance and your interest. As your loan matures, the amount of each payment applied toward the principal balance will increase, and the amount of each payment applied to interest will decrease. 

What are discount points?

Discount points are optional fees you can pay directly to Riverview at closing in exchange for a reduced interest rate. One point is equal to 1% of the total loan amount. Depending on how long you plan to be in your home, it might make sense to pay these points and obtain a lower rate.

What are the steps to get a mortgage?

  1. Prequalification
    Even before you start looking at homes, the first step in the mortgage process is getting a prequalification letter from a lender, which provides documentation of how much money you’re eligible to borrow.
  2. Home Search
    Once you have your prequalification letter, work with your real estate agent to find a home. After you’ve found your new home, reach out to your Member Solutions Officer with your signed purchase agreement.
  3. Processing
    Your processor will then prepare and submit your mortgage application for final review and approval. You may be asked to provide additional supporting information. During this time, your appraisal and title work will be ordered for the home you’re hoping to buy.
  4. Closing
    The last step in the mortgage process is closing. This is where you assume ownership, your loan is funded, and you get the keys to your new home.

What do I do once my offer is accepted?

When your offer is accepted, you’ll have a signed purchase agreement. Contact your Member Solutions Officer to begin the loan process. 

What does it mean to refinance a mortgage?

Refinancing means replacing your existing mortgage with a new mortgage with better terms or features.

What fees should I expect as part of my mortgage?

Common types of mortgage fees include origination, application, credit report, appraisal, title work, and underwriting. Riverview doesn’t require an application fee or a loan origination fee. Any applicable fees will be listed on your Loan Estimate form, which you’ll receive after applying for a mortgage.

What’s a Loan Estimate (LE)?

A Loan Estimate is an industry-standard form we’ll give you after you apply for a mortgage. It provides you with valuable information about your loan, including the interest rate, monthly payment and estimated closing costs. Since these line items are estimates, certain costs may change between the original Loan Estimate and your closing date.

What’s a mortgage prequalification?

A prequalification shows how much you’ll be eligible to borrow when you decide to make an offer on a home. Your prequalification is based on information you provide, including your credit score, income, assets, debts, employment history and other financial information. The prequalification isn’t a commitment to lend yet—your information will still need to be verified with supporting documentation.

What’s private mortgage insurance (PMI)?

PMI is insurance that a buyer pays to protect the lender in case your loan ends up in foreclosure. Though most lenders require PMI for home purchases with down payments of less than 20%, Riverview offers many loan products that don’t require PMI. This can keep your monthly payment lower.

What’s the difference between a fixed-rate and an adjustable-rate mortgage?

With a fixed-rate mortgage, your interest rate stays the same for the life of your loan. Riverview offers 10-, 15-, and 20-year fixed rate mortgage loans. With an adjustable rate, your loan begins with a fixed rate for a specified period of time and then adjusts higher or lower based on an index. Riverview offers ARM loans up to a 30-year term. 

What’s the maximum I can get approved for?

Several factors are involved in determining how much you can borrow for a home loan, including your income and debt, savings, credit score and interest rate. Check out our Mortgage Qualification Calculator to get an idea of how much you may qualify to borrow.

What’s the difference between an interest rate and an annual percentage rate (APR)?

An interest rate is the cost you pay annually to borrow money, expressed as a percentage of your total loan. In contrast, APR includes the interest rate plus other costs, such as pmi, discount points and some closing costs and loan origination fees.
