The USDA home loan has many benefits for rural homebuyers. Being able to secure financing without a down payment is among the major advantages to first-time homebuyers wishing to use a USDA home loan. The USDA home loan is one of the last remaining mortgages in the U.S. that does not require a down payment.
USDA loan programs provides homeownership for many who otherwise may not be able to qualify for home financing. A USDA loan is a home loan that is guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture. It offers very low and competitive interest rates on home loans to borrowers with no down payment requirements.
A great benefit of the USDA home loan is you don’t need perfect credit. A borrower’s credit may have blemishes from collections or previous late payments. For others, it may be a complete lack of credit or no active credit accounts. Having a credit score of 640 or above usually helps eligible borrowers secure the best rates with zero down payment.
There is no minimum credit score for USDA loans; however, a score of 640 or higher will speed up the application process.
No down payment is required for a USDA loan. Obtain 100 percent financing without having to spend years saving for a down payment.
Unlike other loan types, USDA loans don't have private mortgage insurance (PMI). USDA loans have the lowest funding fee of all government-backed loans.
USDA loans are made affordable through very competitive fixed interest rates. The low interest rates make it a good time to purchase a home.

Types of USDA Loans
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers two different types of home loan programs. Income and household size typically determine which program works best for the applicant. Competitive and/or below market interest rates, minimal closing cost, and longer mortgage terms provide opportunity and affordability for many homeowners utilizing these programs. These loans are restricted to rural areas. Read below to find out more information about each loan program and see which program works best for you.
502 Direct USDA Loan: USDA funds the borrowers of these loans directly. These loans usually favor low-income and very-low-income individuals or families who can’t access any other type of financing for an adequate residence. Qualifying borrowers’ income must fall at or below the low-income limit in a designated area as defined by USDA. With subsidies, interest rates can be as low as 1%, based on the adjusted household income.

Guaranteed USDA Loan: USDA partners with local lenders to offer guaranteed loans. Guaranteed means USDA insures a portion of the mortgage in the event you default on your loan. Therefore, these lenders tend to feel comfortable offering modest loan terms to low-income individuals with less-than-favorable credit scores. These types of loans typically suit low- or moderate-income borrowers. To be eligible for a guaranteed USDA loan, your adjusted household income can’t exceed more than 115% of the median family income in the designated rural area you wish to live in.
