Buying outside a major city? USDA guaranteed financing is an option to discuss when the property and household meet program eligibility.
The address matters
USDA eligibility follows the program map, not simply a rural mailing address. Check the specific property before relying on this option. A community name alone does not establish eligibility.
Income and financing requirements
Household income eligibility and repayment qualification are separate checks. Eligible borrowers may finance a purchase without a down payment; program fees and closing costs still need to be considered.
Plan your purchase
Bring the address, household details, employment information and a comfortable payment target. Jonathan can help you compare USDA with FHA or conventional financing when available through the lender.
Program resources
USDA guaranteed loan program. Program rules and lender requirements can change; confirm the terms for your situation.
