*The equity of your home is the difference between the value of your home and how much you owe on your mortgage. If your home is worth $350,000 and you owe $150,000 on your mortgage, your equity is $350,000 minus $150,000 or $200,000.

**The Easy Move Cross collateral loan is calculated based on a maximum 75% combined loan to value (CLTV) up to $1,500,000 less any existing mortgage owed on your current home. For example, when if the current home is valued at $350,000 with an existing mortgage of $150,000 and the new home is priced at $400,000, the Easy Move Cross Collateral loan is calculated as follows:

The combined value of your current home and new home is $350,000 plus $400,000 or $750,000. The CLTV (75%) of the combined value of $750,000 is $562,500.

The Easy Move Cross Collateral loan is $562,500 minus the existing mortgage of $150,000 which equals $412,500. The Easy Move Cross Collateral loan will finance the purchase price plus closing costs as long as the total is less than $412,500 without requiring the contingency of selling your current home.

Easy Move Cross Collateral Loan Program requires the current home and the new home located in the same state.

Easy Move Cross Collateral Loan program is not available in Texas.
