USDA Loan Program

A USDA loan is a great option for many Connecticut Residents. The “Rural Housing” USDA Loan is a true 100% financing program federally insured by the US Department of Agriculture. It is called a Rural Loan by the USDA because it is handled by the Rural Development Department.

USDA loans are for home purchases.  Furthermore, the property can not be income producing.  As a result, this program does not allow for multi-family properties or properties with commercial farming capabilities.

USDA loans have very attractive features for homebuyers:

• $0 down payment. 100% purchase program.
• Low monthly mortgage insurance compared to other mortgage programs such as FHA.
• There are limited asset requirements/ reserve requirements.
• Finally, this program has competitive interest rates.

You do have to meet a few qualifications in order to get a USDA loan:

• The property has to be in an eligible area.
• The program has income limits.

USDA loans are sometimes overlooked because they are believed to be just for rural properties. As a result, much of Connecticut is eligible for USDA loans.
