HOME LOANS

USDA Government-backed mortgages

If you have your heart set on a home outside the rush and crowds of city life, there are government loan programs that can help make your dream a reality. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development’s housing programs are geared to individuals and families looking to purchase a home in a rural area — even for those buyers with very low to moderate income. With benefits such as no down payment and favorable rates and terms, guaranteed loans are available to qualifying applicants who would not otherwise be able to purchase a home with a conventional loan.
