What is a USDA loan

A USDA loan, formally known as a USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan, is a type of mortgage loan offered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to help individuals and families purchase homes in eligible rural and suburban areas. Rural areas, which include certain suburban areas and less densely populated areas, are designated by the USDA as rural areas, which serve as the primary purpose of USDA loans.

USDA loans include:

No Down Payment

USDA loans have the advantage of not requiring a down payment, which can make homeownership more accessible to individuals with little or no savings.

Low Interest Rates

A USDA loan has a competitive interest rate, which can save borrowers money.

Income Requirements

In order for people with moderate to low incomes to benefit from USDA loans, income limits are set based on the location of the property and the number of people in the household.

Property Eligibility

A USDA loan is intended for properties located in eligible rural and suburban areas. The USDA offers a map of eligible areas on their website.

Guarantee Fee

As with mortgage insurance, USDA loans typically require a guarantee fee to protect the lender in case the borrower defaults.

Credit Requirements

In spite of USDA loans being designed for borrowers with low credit scores, lenders may have their own requirements.
