USDA Loan: USDA Mortgage Rural Development Loan

One of the best kept secrets in the home buying market is the USDA Loan.  Don’t let the name fool you – its not just for properties in “uncivilized” America.

A USDA (also know as the Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan Program) home loan is a zero down-payment mortgage for eligible rural and suburban homebuyers. 

Why choose a USDA Loan? 

• Other than the VA loan, which is strictly for Veterans, USDA is the only loan that offers 100% financing.
• The USDA loan offers lower monthly mortgage insurance, netting a lower monthly payment.
• Less strict underwriting guidelines, including options for low or no credit scores.
• Alternative forms of credit may be used to qualify

Who may apply for this USDA Mortgage Loan Program?  

All Rural Home Loan Applicants must: 

• Agree to personally occupy the dwelling as their primary residence
• Be a U.S. Citizen, U.S. non-citizen national or Qualified Alien
• Have the legal capacity to incur the loan obligation
• Have not been suspended or debarred from federal programs
• Demonstrate the willingness to meet credit obligations in a timely manner
• Purchase a property that meets all program criteria
