With the challenges of 2020 squarely in the rearview, and life returning to ‘normal’ in a post-pandemic world, thousands of individuals and families across the USA are looking forward to the prospect of homeownership. 

Yet one of the largest hurdles prospective homebuyers face remains a major sticking point for those needing to qualify for a mortgage. Financing has and remains a significant challenge for those looking to buy a home in 2021 and beyond.

Summer isn’t the only thing heating up, so is the real estate market across the United States, with home sales on the rise, competition for finding that perfect dream home can be fierce.

This quarter, Primary Residential Mortgage, Inc., a nationally recognized home loan company, discusses how homeowners can qualify for a lesser-known but beneficial type of loan that offers a myriad of benefits over traditional options such as an FHA loan.

As a company dedicated to helping individuals and families across America achieve their homeownership goals, Primary Residential Mortgage is committed to educating the public on lesser-known but beneficial options, such as USDA Loans.

The USDA Loan – a lesser-known opportunity for prospective homeowners

The USDA loan isn’t an option that many prospective home buyers are aware of. In many cases, the acronym itself plays a role in buyers assuming they don’t qualify. After all, why would the United States Department of Agriculture give a ‘normal’ homebuyer a loan?

Despite this misconception, savvy homebuyers are taking note of how this loan may help them achieve their goals. In reality, around 97% of properties across the USA are eligible for a USDA loan. Presuming other requirements are met, a USDA loan may be the most beneficial path to homeownership, according to Primary Residential Mortgage, Inc.

USDA Loan: an Overview

Although lesser-known and utilized, the USDA loan has seen a marked increase in popularity over the last few years. A USDA loan may be acquired directly from a private lender with the loan backed by the USDA, or less frequently, directly through a local USDA office that aids in facilitating the loan.

Designed to serve low to moderate-income borrowers located in rural areas, the USDA’s broad definition of ‘rural’ encompasses around 97% of the entire country.

Benefits of a USDA Loan

The benefits of a USDA loan are what make it a viable potential alternative to FHA and other types of home loans. Those interested in quickly checking if their area qualifies may visit the USDA Eligibility Map.

Benefit Overview:

• USDA guarantee results in competitive interest rates
• Flexible credit guidelines
• Low monthly mortgage insurance
• Current homeowners can still qualify
• Up to 97% of the country may qualify based on population criteria

Who May Qualify for a USDA Loan?

The USDA loan was created to serve low to moderate-income borrowers located in rural areas. The word ‘rural’ is a bit misleading, however, leading many individuals to assume they don’t qualify. According to the USDA, for the purposes of qualifying for this type of loan, rural is defined as a city/town with less than 35,000 residents. Based on this metric, more than 95% of the United States could qualify.
