USDA Loan

How USDA Loans Work

The USDA home loan program, also known as the USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan Program, is a mortgage loan offered to rural property owners by the United States Department of Agriculture. USDA loans require no down payment and you may finance up to 100% of the property value. With the October 2016 fee reduction on upfront and monthly Mortgage Insurance, the USDA Home Loan has become a better option than FHA.
