FRESNO, Calif. (Aug. 20, 2025) – Educational Employees Credit Union (EECU) is making it easier for members to achieve their dream of owning a home by expanding its home loan offerings to include lower down payment options.

With the new EECU Advantage Home Loan, qualified borrowers can purchase a primary residence with as little as 10% down on a fixed-rate mortgage. This reduced down payment requirement opens the door to homeownership for more members, helping them enter the housing market sooner and with greater financial flexibility.
In addition to the Advantage Home Loan, EECU has partnered with NavPros/Navigator Lending Solutions, a division of Land Home Financial Services, to offer an even broader selection of loan programs. These include low down payment options such as FHA, VA, and Manufactured Home loans, as well as First-Time Homebuyer/Down Payment Assistance Loans, giving members multiple pathways to secure a home that fits their needs and budget.
“Our goal is to remove barriers that keep people from becoming homeowners,” said Elizabeth J. Dooley, EECU president and CEO. “By offering lower down payment options and partnering with trusted providers, we’re making it possible for more members to step into a home of their own.”
Whether purchasing your first home, upgrading to a new one, or refinancing an existing mortgage, EECU offers a variety of competitive loans and terms to meet the needs of all borrowers.
