Not many people know about USDA home loans, but here are 3 facts you need to know about USDA Loans, which could be the right home loan for you!
- The USDA home loan program was developed to spur growth in the rural areas of the United States. It's a government backed mortgage, which means the government insures your loan, while an experienced mortgage lender will handle all the other details of your loan. It's important to pick a lender who knows what they are doing with loans like the USDA loan, because there can be some peculiarities and having experience with them will make your home loan process that much easier (and hopefully make it go by with a lot less stress and a lot more fun!)
- With any loan there are conditions that you'll need to meet to be eligible for that particular loan. For the USDA home loan you'll need to check out if your home is in a USDA Loan Eligible location. Once you've determined if your home is in an eligible location you'll next need to see if your income qualifies for a USDA home loan, you can do that here. (Pay careful attention the websites look very similar.)
- Once you've determined that you're in a USDA eligible location and are under the income requirements for your USDA mortgage, that's when the fun starts because after all that stuff quailifying for this home loan is just like any other home loan. You'll need to be pre-approved which means we take a look at your income and expenses and your credit and determine if those are good enough to meet minimum standards set for all mortgage loans. Once you're pre-approved, let the house hunting begin!
