USDA or Rural Development Loans aren't just for farmers or agriculture professionals. This loan type can help families without adequate housing finance the purchase of a home in a rural area and help make the dream of homeownership possible.
A USDA loan, also known as a Rural Development Loan, is a government-insured home loan backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is designed to promote homeownership in low to moderate-income rural and suburban areas. This type of loan requires no downpayment. Additionally, they offer competitive interest rates and can be used to purchase a primary residence.
The borrower must be a U.S. resident, noncitizen national or permanent resident.
The property being financed must be in an eligible rural area as defined by the USDA Rural Development.
The property being financed will be the borrower's permanent primary residence.
Borrowers must have an adjusted gross income of no more than 115% of the median income in the area and must show that they have a stable income and can afford the monthly mortgage payments.
Typically, a credit score of 640 or better is required.
No downpayment is required.
