United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development (USDA RD) Mortgage

Designed to encourage rural land development and growth in rural areas.


The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) manages a program whereby a buyer can borrow up to 102% of the home’s appraised value, thus eliminating a down payment.

This program is only available in certain non-urban geographic locations, but these sites can include small towns and villages close to larger cities.

USDA loans are designed to encourage rural land development and growth in rural areas. They were long thought of as just for farmers, but the program has been expanded in recent years to give more people looking to purchase or refinance in a rural area access to the incredible benefits offered by these loans.


Applying for USDA Loans

We offer USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing Loans. These loans are designed to help families without adequate housing finance the purchase of a home in a rural area. Applicants may have incomes up to 115% of the area’s median income and must be able to afford mortgage payments, including insurance and applicable taxes.

Please contact us for more information on program terms for this loan program.


The maximum income limit depends on the cost of living, median income, and other
economic characteristics of the county the property is located in.
