USDA Loans

USDA loans are low-interest mortgages with zero down payments making them an excellent option for low-income Americans who may not have strong enough credit to qualify for traditional mortgages. To qualify for a USDA loan, the home you purchase must be in a designated area, which typically includes several rural and suburban locations.

What are USDA Loans?

USDA loans, backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, offer affordable home financing options for low- to moderate-income individuals and families in eligible rural areas. These loans provide 100% financing, meaning no down payment is required, making homeownership more accessible.

Benefits of USDA Loans

  • No Down Payment: USDA loans offer 100% financing, eliminating the need for a down payment.
  • Competitive Interest Rates: Enjoy lower interest rates compared to conventional loans.
  • Flexible Credit Requirements: USDA loans have more lenient credit score requirements, making them accessible to a broader range of borrowers.
  • Low Mortgage Insurance: USDA loans feature lower mortgage insurance premiums, reducing overall monthly payments.

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for a USDA loan, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • Income Limits: Household income must not exceed 115% of the median income for the area.
  • Property Location: The home must be located in an eligible rural area as defined by the USDA.
  • Primary Residence: The property must be used as the borrower's primary residence.
  • Citizenship: Applicants must be U.S. citizens, non-citizen nationals, or qualified aliens.

How to Apply for a USDA Loan

  1. Check Eligibility: Use the USDA's online tool to verify if your income and the property location meet the eligibility requirements.
  2. Find a Lender: Work with an approved USDA lender to start your application process.
  3. Submit Documentation: Provide necessary financial and personal documents to support your application.
  4. Loan Approval: Once approved, you can proceed with purchasing your new home in a qualifying rural area.
