  • To qualify for placement on the Active List, members must maintain a bank account balance equal to 20% of their intended home purchase price.

Buying a Home

Members must have 20% of their accoMembers must maintain 20% unts to be included in the AL (Approved List).

If the member has less than 20%, that investment must remain in the member’s account when they submit the RFAL (Request for Approved List) and when the board reviews it.

The RFAL process ensures that a member’s name is added to the Active List. Once the member completes the RFAL form and submits the necessary documents, their name will be added to the Active List without any delays.
