What are USDA RD home loans?
USDA RD (rural development) loans are a type of mortgage available for individuals to fund purchasing or repairing a home in an area defined as rural by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The loan is available through private mortgage providers (mortgage companies, banks, and credit unions) and backed by the USDA. Mann Mortgage has been a top rural lender recognized by the USDA for 10 years running.

USDA RD loans
Conventional loans are available to any borrower regardless of where their real estate is located. USDA loans are only available to borrowers in designated rural areas.
Loans are available with 0% down payment and credit scores tend to be more forgiving than with conventional loans. USDA loans often offer lower interest rates too.
Borrowers must meet income restrictions for the county in which they are buying or repairing their home, and the loan can only be used for primary residence dwellings. Although USDA loans don’t require private mortgage insurance, borrowers will need to pay an upfront guarantee fee and an annual fee that serves as a form of monthly mortgage insurance premium. The annual fee is 0.35% of the loan’s annual balance but paid monthly as part of the borrower’s monthly mortgage payment. This fee exists for the life of the mortgage.
People in rural-designated areas and with limited down payments may be a good candidate for a USDA loan. To see whether you should consider a USDA loan connect with your Mann Mortgage loan officer to review financial goals and loan options.
h a strong credit history is beneficial, Mann Mortgage offers flexibility in credit requirements, making USDA loans accessible to a broader range of applicants.
