USDA Loan
Did you know that you may be able to buy a house with no money down?
USDA rural housing loans are geared toward homebuyers who buy a home in rural areas or even some semi-rural towns. USDA rural housing loan programs offer flexible, common sense underwriting guidelines, relaxed credit requirements, no PMI (private mortgage insurance) options, the ability to finance closing costs into the loan amount, lenient seller concessions, and rates that are comparable to, if not better than, conventional fixed rate mortgage programs.
You may also check the USDA website to confirm the property eligibility and income limits for the subject property and area (you will see those links on the left navigation). In today’s shrinking credit market, USDA rural housing loan programs are one of the only 100% mortgage financing options in the marketplace. At My Own Mortgage, we specialize in processing USDA loans.
We are licenced in RI, MA, CT, NH, VT, and ME
