1Flagstar Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a variable rate, revolving line of credit secured by residential property only, specifically, 1-4 unit owner-occupied homes, modular homes, and owner-occupied secondary homes. The annual percentage rate (APR) is based on the Wall Street Journal prime rate (index) as of March 17, 2020, plus a margin for HELOC amounts between $10,000 and $1 million with a combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio of 80% or lower. Effective March 18, 2020, the current variable APR will range from 4.99% to 21.00%. It will not exceed 21.00% APR. APR reflects a 0.50% interest rate discount that is available for HELOCs with monthly automatic payments (ACH) established and elected at the time of application to be paid from a borrower’s Flagstar Bank Deposit Account. Actual APR will be based on the variable rate index value in effect at the time of account opening, plus a margin determined by the borrower's credit qualifications, the amount of the line of credit, lien position, CLTV ratio, type of property, and other factors. APR remains variable for the life of the loan. Annual fee is $75 per year and is waived the first year. The HELOC must remain open for at least 36 months to avoid payment of closing fees, including, but not limited to, title, appraisal, notary and recording fees. Loan amounts greater than $500,000 require borrower-paid lender's title insurance. Borrower is responsible for paying required government taxes and fees at closing. During the 10-year draw period, for the (a) interest-only payment terms, the minimum payment for each billing cycle will equal the greater of $100 or the finance charges that have accrued for that billing cycle, or for the (b) principal and interest payment terms, the minimum payment for each billing cycle will equal the greater of $100 or the amount sufficient to repay the account balance in full by the maturity date in substantially equal payments plus the finance charges that accrued for that billing cycle, and other fees, charges and costs. If the repayment period extends to 20 years, the minimum payment for each billing cycle will equal the greater of $100 or the amount sufficient to repay the account balance in full by the maturity date in substantially equal payments plus the finance charges that accrued for that billing cycle and other fees, charges, and costs.
