How does a USDA loan work, in plain English?
A USDA guaranteed loan is a 30-year fixed mortgage from a regular lender, backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture so the lender can offer it with no down payment.
- $0 down: you can finance 100% of the price.
- Location: the home must be in a USDA-eligible area (most rural and small-town Mississippi qualifies).
- Income: your total household income must be at or under the limit for your county.
- Credit: most lenders look for a score around 640 for automated approval; lower can be possible with manual review.
- Fees: a 1% upfront guarantee fee (can be rolled into the loan) and a 0.35% annual fee paid monthly.
- Use: it must be your primary home, not a rental or vacation home.
