How USDA loan programs work

There are three USDA home loan programs:

Loan Guarantees

The USDA guarantees a mortgage issued by a local lender just like a FHA or VA-backed loans. This allows you to get low mortgage interest rates, even without a down payment. If you put little or no money down, you will have to pay a mortgage insurance premium.

Direct Loans

Issued directly by the USDA, these mortgages are for low and very low-income applicants. Income thresholds vary by region. With subsidies, interest rates can be as low as 1%.

Home Improvement Loans and Grants

These are loans or outright financial grants to homeowners to repair or upgrade their homes. Packages can also combine a loan and a grant, providing up to $27,500 in assistance.

Qualifying for a USDA Backed Mortgage Guarantee

Income and household size affect qualification and vary by location. To find the loan guarantee income limit for the county where you live, consult this USDA Eligibility Site. USDA guaranteed home loans are only for owner occupied primary residences. Other eligibility requirements include: U.S. citizenship (or permanent residency) A monthly payment that includes principal, interest, insurance and taxes that’s 29% or less of your monthly income. Other monthly payments cannot exceed 41% of your income. The USDA will consider higher debt ratios if you have a credit score above 680. Dependable income for a minimum of 24 months An credit history, with no accounts converted to collections within the last 12 months, among other criteria. If you can prove that your credit was affected by circumstances that were temporary or outside of your control, including a medical emergency, you may still qualify. Applicants with credit scores of 640 or higher receive streamlined processing. Those with scores below that must meet more stringent underwriting standards. Those without a credit score, or a limited credit history, can qualify with “nontraditional” credit references like rental and utility payment histories. Here is the USDA's Eligibility Site where you can enter a specific address for eligible areas.
