Choosing a home is one of the most significant decisions a person can make. That’s why it’s crucial to have the right mortgage provider in your corner — someone located in your area who is looking out for your best financial interests.

Ascend Federal Credit Union has great mortgage programs that can make it easier to turn your homeownership dreams into reality, and our personalized service extends beyond closing. We currently keep most of our mortgage servicing in-house, meaning if you have a question about your loan payment, balance, escrow, etc., our local staff is here to assist you.

The specialized mortgage programs available at Ascend all require little to no down payment as well as other additional benefits, including:

  • First-Time Homebuyer Loan: no personal mortgage insurance (PMI) required, financing up to 102% of the sales price, and no income limitations.
  • Local Heroes Mortgage Loan: local heroes (teachers, firefighters, police officers, EMTs, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, and paramedics) can qualify for this loan with zero down payment and no loan origination.
  • Physician’s Mortgage Loan: exclusive benefits for physicians, dentists, and veterinarians, including no PMI, zero down payment, and up to 100% financing.

For all the above loan types, only single-family homes and condominiums/townhomes are allowed. No manufactured/modular/mobile homes are permitted. Applicants with no credit score may be eligible with acceptable alternative credit.

With over 70 years of trusted service in Middle Tennessee, Ascend is committed to finding a mortgage solution for all of our neighbors, especially those looking to buy their first home, professionals who keep us safe and healthy, and our local educators.
