How It Works
A USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing loan offers 100% financing in eligible areas. Those areas are far broader than most buyers expect, including many suburbs and small towns near major metros.
The address must fall inside a USDA-eligible area. We check the map before you tour homes.
Household income must fall under the county limit, which counts all adult household income, not just borrowers.
True 100% financing — no down payment required and closing costs may be gifted or seller-paid.
A one-time upfront fee that can be financed plus a small annual fee, both lower than comparable FHA mortgage insurance.
The home must meet USDA condition standards as a safe, sanitary, owner-occupied primary residence.
Files pass through USDA in addition to the lender, which adds a few days. We plan your closing date around it.
Your Options
USDA is narrow in eligibility and generous in terms. These are the details that decide whether it fits.
Honest Advice
When the property and income both qualify, USDA is frequently unbeatable. When they do not, we pivot fast.
Zero down with lower monthly fees than FHA is the best value available outside a VA loan.
The program is designed for you, and the limits are higher than most buyers assume.
Combined with seller credits, many buyers close with almost nothing out of pocket.
City addresses generally fail the map test. FHA or conventional 3% down is the alternative.
A working adult household member can push you over the limit even if they are not on the loan.
Agency review adds days. If the contract demands a rapid close, another program is safer.

Questions
A USDA loan is a $0-down mortgage backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for homes in eligible rural and suburban areas. Rates are often below conventional, and no down payment is required.
Eligibility is based on the property’s location — many suburban areas on the edges of metro regions qualify, not just farmland. We’ll run any address through the USDA eligibility map for you in minutes.
Yes. Household income generally can’t exceed 115% of the area median income for your county. We’ll verify your county’s limit and structure the application correctly.
USDA loans carry a 1% upfront guarantee fee (which can be financed) and a low 0.35% annual fee — significantly cheaper than FHA mortgage insurance in most cases.
