If you’re a low- to moderate-income buyer, or just someone without a significant down payment saved up, then a USDA loan might be the perfect path to homeownership for you.
The USDA loan program allows homeowners to purchase a qualifying rural property for no money down. Like any mortgage option, you will need to meet certain criteria, though. The primary qualifying factors are your income, for which limits will vary by area, as well as the location of the property.
“The bottom line is that the USDA loan is a great option for those savvy enough to take advantage.”
