Hey FF, -check out their website for faqs -pcuonline.org
-they do give loans -call em and see if they'll give one to you (you may
have to demonstrate that you can do some due diligence on your own though)
-also consider tax reducing -donations!!!
-of course they are in insured! (or they couldn't be a credit union).
-Not a member?!? become one! -and get their newsletter...
In the last newsletter they featured a nice eco-freindly house being built
with the help of the cu. They also address the state of their capital
reserves (up) but some income decline -due to mortgage lending ties to prime
rate -(good for you as a borrower -not as good for the cu as an
institution).
