USDA Loans in Michigan
Are you shopping for a home in rural Michigan? If so, did you know that you might be able to save money with a USDA-insured rural housing loan?
With the right qualifications, you could move into your new home with zero down.
What is a USDA Mortgage?
Unlike a conventional loan, a USDA mortgage is guaranteed by the government.
The program is offered by the US Department of Agriculture, and used to be known as the “Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program.”
The insurance on this type of loan makes it a low-risk mortgage for lenders.
The result? Affordable rates and flexible qualification requirements. Let’s take a look at the benefits.
Benefits of USDA Loans in MI
- You do not need high income or a perfect credit score to qualify for this type of mortgage. In fact, USDA mortgages are targeted at lower-income borrowers.
- With a rural housing loan in Michigan, you can pay affordable interest rates.
- You can move into a home immediately without a down payment.
Qualifying for a Michigan USDA Mortgage
To be eligible for a USDA mortgage, you need to meet these basic requirements:
- You must not have an income that is above 115% of median household income.
- You must be buying a home that is in a rural area. What does that mean? The USDA has specific guidelines, but they are quite a bit broader than many borrowers expect. During your consultation, we can help you to establish whether you are shopping for a home in a qualifying rural zone.
We will go over other requirements for eligibility for a USDA mortgage with you during your consultation as well.
