USDA loans are a GREAT way for anyone to purchase a home,
but especially first time homebuyers when coming up with a down payment is next to impossible for many.
but especially first time homebuyers when coming up with a down payment is next to impossible for many.
Just last month USDA lowered the USDA Guarantee fee from
2.75% to 1% and the annual fee from .50% to .35% this incredible decrease will
make it possible for even more buyers to qualify with lower monthly payments.
Ok so what is a USDA loan anyway? It is a US Department of
Agriculture backed loan for suburban and rural home buyers, it’s a 100%... that’s
right NO money down mortgage loan and part of the Rural Development Guaranteed
Housing Loan Program. With reduce mortgage insurance premiums and lower then
market interest rates.
I’ve been originating mortgage loans for over 20 years and
this loan is by far the best, even better then FHA, that require 3.5% down
payment and upfront fees of 1.75% and an annual fee of .85 for loans above
95%LTV.
There are income limits with a USDA home loan, tied to
the area’s median income levels and is defined by those earning up to 115% of
the county in which the property is located. Most people will find they fall
within these income limitations.
The property must be eligible as well but you can easily

In most cases depending on your area, owning a home and having a USDA loan could be cheaper then renting.
