USDA loans are designed for eligible homebuyers with low to moderate income and are located in rural and suburban areas, as deemed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Just like VA (Veteran Administration) loans, USDA loans are government backed and offer great benefits and options to those who are unable to meet requirements and secure conventional loan options offered.
Program Requirements
- For low to moderate-income borrowers – limits vary by location and household size
- Property must be in a designated area approved for the USDA program
- Buyers must be approved for the mortgage payment including property taxes, homeowners’ and mortgage insurance
