Lenders From Outer Space

"The NASA Federal Credit Union earlier this month launched a special promotion that allows borrowers to make no down payment for a primary home purchase of up to $650,000, or just 5% down on a loan up to $850,000... The deal applies only in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Borrowers can also do refinance loans up to $650,000 with just 5% down and up to $850,000 with 10% down. The credit union will offer adjustable rate loans and 15-year fixed rate loans, and it will keep those loans on its balance sheet."
