No mortgage insurance saves you a lot of money.  Mortgage insurance raises your monthly payment, which REDUCES the amount of a home loan you may qualify to purchase.  Guaranteed loans may allow you to qualify for a newer or larger home to meet your needs 

• • Did you know that the typical mortgage insurance premiums for the first 10 years on a $100,000.00 loan could cost you $6,000 or more?  The mortgage insurance can continue beyond the 10 years.  The cost of Rural Development's guarantee is only $2,000.00 on a $100,000.00 loan. 
  • No mortgage insurance allows you to qualify for a larger mortgage amount. 
• There is little or no cash required for a down payment or closing costs in most cases.
• Determine if the property is within the Rural Development eligible area.
