Up to 100% Financing

USDA rural home loans offer qualified buyers the ability to purchase a home with $0 down payment. In some circumstances, the costs of eligible home repairs and improvements may also be financed which could mean no out-of-pocket repair costs.

Eligibility Restrictions

The property being purchased must be located in a USDA-eligible area to qualify for USDA rural home loans. Borrower income restrictions also apply. With very specific guidelines, it is important to work with a Loan Officer and company that has experience closing USDA rural home loans.
