no down payment: Waiting on Congress to Reallocate Additional Funding for USDA Home Loan Programs - 04/19/10 12:41 AM
I posted this article last summer, and use it frequently when providing home buyers with information on one of the few no down payment programs left. USDA is just about out of money for the USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing loan program for 2010, and our local Oregon office has been hopping with the flood of applications.

Can a home buyer looking to purchase a home in Eagle Point Oregon still find 100% financing? You bet! The variety of program options we have had available to us in the past are not as prevalent, but there are options available, such as the Federal VA Home Loan program for eligible Veterans and the USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing program.
