What is a USDA Loan?

USDA loans are guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and are designed to help low-to-moderate-income borrowers in eligible rural areas purchase a home.

USDA loans are unique in that they do not require a down payment, making them an attractive option for homebuyers who may not have the funds for a large down payment.

To qualify for a USDA loan, borrowers must meet certain eligibility requirements, including having a stable income, a credit score of at least 640, and purchasing a home in a designated rural area.

USDA loans have a maximum loan amount based on the borrower’s income and the location of the property, and they require mortgage insurance premiums. The loan terms are typically for 30 years and have a fixed interest rate.

Misconceptions

VA loans are issued by the VA –The VA does not actually issue VA loans; instead, VA loans are issued by private lenders, such as banks and mortgage companies, and are guaranteed by the VA.

High Interest Rates –VA loans typically have competitive interest rates compared to other loan programs. In fact, VA loans often have lower interest rates than conventional loans.

Only Available For Certain Types of Properties –VA loans can be used to purchase a variety of types of properties, including single-family homes, townhouses, and condominiums.


VA Loans Take Longer To Close –VA loans may require specific inspections and appraisals, but they don’t typically take longer to close than other loan programs. In some cases, the VA’s streamlined appraisal process allows these loans to close even faster.
