By
Mortgage and Lending with Premier Servicing Company, LLC

As a buyer, should I consider the Rural Housing Loan Program?

As a seller, can my buyer possibly qualify for the Rural Housing Loan Program?

The USDA's Guaranteed Rural Housing Loan is one of the best loan programs out there today.  It is a no down payment, 100% financing loan - the last one available. 

Below is a list of quick ways to see if you or your buyers have a chance to qualify for this program.   These are the other factors that need to be considered as well.

Don't worry if you can't qualify for this particular program.  There are many other low to no down payment programs available.  Contact me for more information. 

Unacceptable Credit for the Guaranteed Rural Housing Loan  - UNLESS THE PROBLEM IS DEEMED BEYOND THE APPLICANT'S CONTROL (more on this below)

NOTE: some or all of these may not apply if you or your buyer has a 620 credit score or better

Hello Jennifer,
Sounds like a good program but I must admit I know nothing about it.
