What is a USDA Home Loan?

 

USDA Home Loan Program provides 102% financing (the purchase price and guarantee fee) for low- to moderate-income homebuyers wanting to buy a home in a rural development area. USDA Home Loans are affordable and backed by the federal government. Qualified program participants must purchase a home in an eligible rural area, as defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and have a household income that does not exceed the established limits where the home is located.
