Common questions

Helpful answers before you begin.

Is USDA only for farms?

No. USDA financing is commonly used for ordinary homes in eligible rural and suburban communities. The property does not need to be a working farm.

How do I know whether a home qualifies?

USDA provides an eligibility map based on the property address. We can check the location and household income before you move forward.

Can USDA really require no down payment?

Eligible buyers may finance 100% of the approved purchase price. Closing costs and other funds may still be needed unless covered through permitted sources.
