A USDA home loan, also known as a USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan, is a mortgage loan program offered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). It is designed to assist low-to-moderate-income borrowers in purchasing homes in eligible rural areas.
One of the significant advantages of USDA home loans is that they allow borrowers to finance 100% of the home's purchase price without requiring a down payment.
USDA loans have lower mortgage insurance premiums compared to other loan types, such as FHA loans. This can result in lower monthly payments for borrowers.
USDA loans have more lenient credit requirements compared to conventional loans. Borrowers with less-than-perfect credit may still be eligible for a USDA loan
One significant limitation of USDA home loans is that they are available only for properties located in eligible rural areas as defined by the USDA. Borrowers looking to purchase homes in urban or suburban areas may not qualify for a USDA loan.
USDA loans have income limits based on the borrower's location and family size. Borrowers with higher incomes may not be eligible for this loan program.
USDA loans have certain property requirements. The home must be in good condition and meet specific safety and livability standards.
