USDA Loans: Highlights of the USDA Loan Program in Arizona

January 6, 2009

When FHA made the move to outlaw seller contributed gift funds, the USDA loan program became one of the two programs of choice for buyers looking for 100% financing (VA being the other).  Some of the highlights of the USDA loan program include:

  • No down payment – true 100% financing
  • No monthly mortgage insurance
  • No cash reserves required
  • No asset limits: you may keep liquid cash savings and other investments
  • Not just for first time homebuyers – anyone may qualify
  • Loan up to 102% of the appraised value – the 2% guaranteed fee may be added to the loan amount regardless of appraised value.
  • Competitive 30 year fixed interest rates

Eligible USDA Rural Designated Areas in Arizona

In order to qualify for a USDA loan, the property that you are buying needs to be located in a designated “rural” area. To see whether or not a property is eligible for USDA financing, you can see the USDA eligibility map and search by property.

If you are considering purchasing a house in an area that is designated “rural”, the USDA loan is a tough option to beat in todays market.

IMPORTANT MORTGAGE DISCLOSURES:

When inquiring about a mortgage on this site, this is not a mortgage application. Upon the completion of your inquiry, we will work hard to match you with a lender who may assist you with a mortgage application and provide mortgage product eligibility requirements for your individual situation.

Any mortgage product that a lender may offer you will carry fees or costs including closing costs, origination points, and/or refinancing fees. In many instances, fees or costs can amount to several thousand dollars and can be due upon the origination of the mortgage credit product.

When applying for a mortgage credit product, lenders will commonly require you to provide a valid social security number and submit to a credit check . Consumers who do not have the minimum acceptable credit required by the lender are unlikely to be approved for mortgage refinancing.

Minimum credit ratings may vary according to lender and mortgage product. In the event that you do not qualify for a credit rating based on the required minimum credit rating, a lender may or may not introduce you to a credit counseling service or credit improvement company who may or may not be able to assist you with improving your credit for a fee.
