USDA Loan
A mortgage offered by the United States Department of Agriculture to help low- and moderate-income individuals buy homes in rural areas.
What Is A USDA Loan?
USDA loans are mortgage loans offered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and are designed for low- and moderate-income homebuyers in rural and suburban areas. These loans have flexible credit and income requirements and offer low or no down payment options. They also have competitive interest rates and do not require mortgage insurance. However, there are specific property eligibility requirements for USDA loans, and the property must be located in a designated rural area. If you are looking to buy a home in a rural or suburban area and have limited funds for a down payment, a USDA loan may be a good option for you.
