What is a USDA Loan?
A USDA Loan is a mortgage option backed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) designed to promote homeownership in eligible rural and suburban areas. This loan program offers significant benefits to low-to-moderate-income homebuyers, including zero down payment and competitive interest rates.
