Nationwide, Black Nurses Launch Mortgage Program

Nationwide Advantage Mortgage Co., Des Moines, Iowa, and the National Black Nurses Association have launched a program designed to help association members finance or refinance a home.The Home Buyer's Assistance Program allows members of the NBNA to take advantage of an existing low-cost, low-rate mortgage program, either online or via a toll-free number. The Internet application is designed to give NBNA members a chance to review various loan options, and then use a streamlined loan application process that provides binding approval decisions in as little as 10 minutes, NAMC and the NBNA said. "With out product you won't be asked for your life story -- the process is so streamlined that some borrowers don't even need to provide verification of their income," said Robert Kallio, associate vice president of marketing for NAMC.
