Choosing USDA Home Loans

By Danica Meyers


There are many private companies willing to offer home loans to every individual who wants to buy their own house. The USDA is a public section of the government that is willing to extend some help to people who wants to own a house. Through the USDA home loans there is a high chance that every person will surely own their own house because they offer the most affordable loans to people. You will not need to have any mortgage insurance if you apply for this loan and you will not be asked to spend some cash as down payment.

There are two types of home loans offered by the USDA. The USDA Guaranteed Loan Program and the USDA Direct Loan Program. The Guaranteed Loan Program is the most popular because the borrower can purchase homes even if they have a higher income. There are requirements when you borrow from the USDA and one requirement is that you must have a taxable income of 115% of the household median income. The second type, the Direct Loan Program, is designed for households that have very low income. These are people that earn 50% less of the average median income.

There are several steps that you will need to do before you can get a home loan from the USDA. You will need to check if you are eligible for the loan by visiting their website. On the site you will choose which home you prefer and the site will determine if you qualify based on the income limitation. If you are eligible for the loan, the next thing you will do is to search for a USDA locator site near you and contact them. They will then send you a form to further assess your qualification. Once you prequalification form has been checked, they will then send you an application form.

Once the application form has been filled out, you will now send it to the locator site. For all USDA home loans processes, a home loan specialist will guide you. Your form will then be placed on the waiting list. Take note that all source of income should be stated on the form.

USDA home loans are great funding source for first-time homeowners. They do not have any down payment and mortgage insurance needed. They also have the most affordable interest rate available. Usually, payment for the USDA home loans can spread up to 30 years in cheap installments making it easy for borrowers to pay up the loan. After officially qualifying for the loan, you will now find the perfect property or home to buy. The USDA loans are indeed the best when it comes to home loans.
