What is a USDA Loan?
USDA loans are provided through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They are a type of nonconventional loan, which means that they are backed in part by the federal government. Other types of nonconventional loans include VA loans (for veterans and servicemembers) and FHA loans (offered through the Federal Housing Administration). Conventional loans differ from USDA loans and other nonconventional loans in that they are not insured through the government. Conventional loans have more stringent qualification requirements than USDA loans.
USDA loans require as little as 0% down payment and have very competitive interest rates when compared with conventional mortgage options.
Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program
There are several types of USDA loans designed to encourage rural development and help clients with low to moderate income purchase or improve a home.
The Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan program is one of the most common USDA loans we provide. As a private lender, we provide total financing for USDA loans. The Department of Agriculture provides a 90% loan note guarantee to Land Run Mortgage if a borrower defaults on payment, which gives us the freedom to lend to a broader array of clients in different financial situations.
