USDA Loan
USDA loans are 100% financing options for low-to-moderate income buyers in eligible rural and suburban areas — a quietly fantastic program most borrowers have never heard of.
What is USDA Loan?
USDA loans are one of the best-kept secrets in mortgage finance. Created to support rural development, the program now covers most suburbs and small cities outside major metros.
Eligible buyers get 100% financing, below-market rates, and the lowest mortgage insurance costs of any government-backed loan. The catch: there's a household income cap and the property must be in an eligible area.
We'll quickly check whether your target property qualifies — most do — and walk you through whether USDA beats FHA or conventional for your specific scenario.
