What is the USDA Loan Program?


This program helps approved lenders make 100 percent-financed, no-money-down mortgage loans to eligible low- and moderate- income applicants. Backed by USDA Rural Development, the 90 percent loan note guarantee encourages lender participation by helping them minimize risk. With a Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan, applicants can buy an existing home (including the cost of rehabilitating, improving, or relocating the dwelling) or they can build new. The home must be used as their primary residence, and must be modest, decent, safe, and sanitary. This program is not restricted to first-time home buyers.


How do I know if a property I am interested in is eligible for the USDA loan program?
