USDA Loans
A USDA loan is a mortgage that is guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. USDA loans are a good option for consumers who want to buy a home in a rural area.
Requirements: In order to qualify for a USDA loan, borrowers typically need to meet income eligibility requirements based on the location of the property and the size of the household. They also need to have a credit score of at least 640 and show proof of employment and income.
