With the mortgage industry always changing, it is important to know your options for the best mortgage. USDA loans are a fantastic option. You can qualify for a USDA loan if the home you are buying falls in a "rural" area. Obviously, the city of Houston is not considered a "rural area". But, you would be surprised what is considered "rural" in Houston's surrounding area. Lets talk about the Highlights of a USDA loan:
- You will not need a down payment. That's right 0%!!! FHA loans require a down payment of 3.5% and a conventional can require 5% or more.
- And the seller can pay all or some of your closing costs. This would allow you to get in the home with the least amount of money possible.
- You will not have any monthly mortgage insurance. This will give you an even lower monthly mortgage payment then a conventional loan or a FHA loan.
- a USDA loan is a government loan.
- There are income limits based on the county
