Despite its conveniences, sometimes the hustle and bustle of city or suburban living can be stressful. We get it—the fast-paced life isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay! But did you know that if you’re currently searching for a home, a USDA home loan could help you find your dream getaway in the countryside?
At Luminate Home Loans, we make it our priority to guide you through the best financial decisions, all with your interest in mind. It’s our goal to help you feel informed and engaged throughout the entire lending process. Let us light the way to homeownership for you.
A USDA loan—also known as the USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan Program—is a mortgage loan option offered to rural property owners by the United States Department of Agriculture. This loan option is great for anyone living in the rural areas of the United States that may have a lower income.
Why? Well, because these loans are backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a USDA home loan is available to homebuyers with low-to-average income for their area. These loans even offer 100% financing with reduced mortgage insurance premiums and below-market mortgage rates!
Depending on your location, there are going to be certain income limits for the area you’re looking to purchase a home in. You can always check out this map and table on the USDA website for more information, or talk to one of our experts here at Luminate.
