USDA Loans

Affordable Rural Home Financing

What Are USDA Loans?

USDA loans, backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, are designed to help low-to-moderate-income individuals and families purchase homes in eligible rural and suburban areas. These loans offer 100% financing, making homeownership accessible without a down payment while providing competitive interest rates and low mortgage insurance costs.

Why Choose a USDA Loan?

USDA loans provide an affordable path to homeownership for those who meet the geographic and income requirements. With no down payment required and lower costs compared to other loan programs, USDA loans are a great option for buyers looking to save on upfront expenses while enjoying low monthly payments.

Key Benefits of USDA Loans

  • No Down Payment Required: USDA loans allow for 100% financing, eliminating the need for a large upfront down payment.

  • Competitive Interest Rates: Backed by the government, these loans often feature rates lower than conventional or FHA loans.

  • Reduced Mortgage Insurance Costs: USDA loans have lower monthly mortgage insurance premiums compared to FHA loans.

How Do USDA Loans Work?

USDA loans are available for homes in USDA-eligible areas, typically rural or suburban locations. Here’s how they operate:

  • Eligibility Requirements: Borrowers must meet specific income limits and purchase a home in a USDA-designated area.

  • Loan Terms: USDA loans are available as fixed-rate mortgages, typically with terms of 15 or 30 years.

  • Upfront Guarantee Fee: A one-time fee (usually 1% of the loan amount) is required, along with an annual fee included in monthly payments.

Who Qualifies for a USDA Loan?

To qualify for a USDA loan, you typically need to meet the following criteria:

  • Location: The property must be located in a USDA-eligible rural or suburban area.

  • Income: Your household income must fall within the USDA’s income limits for your area, usually up to 115% of the median income.

  • Credit Score: While specific requirements vary by lender, a credit score of 640 or higher is often preferred.

When Should You Consider a USDA Loan?

USDA loans are a great fit if you:

  • Plan to buy a home in a USDA-eligible area.

  • Have limited savings for a down payment.

  • Meet income and credit requirements but want lower upfront and monthly costs.
