Is this you?

Where it fits, and where to look twice

A strong fit when…

  • You’re buying in a USDA-eligible area, more of Colorado than you’d expect.
  • You want $0 down without military service.
  • Your household income fits within the program’s limits for the area.

Worth weighing…

  • Both the property location and your household income have to qualify.
  • An upfront guarantee fee and a small annual fee apply (similar idea to mortgage insurance).
  • Eligible-area maps change, we’ll check the exact address before you fall in love with it.

How it works

The shape of the loan

01

Backed by the USDA

The U.S. Department of Agriculture guarantees the loan to encourage rural homeownership, which is what unlocks the $0-down structure.

02

Two qualifications: place and income

The home must sit in an eligible area and your household income must fall under the limit. We confirm both up front, fast.

03

Affordable monthly structure

USDA’s fees are typically lower than FHA mortgage insurance, which can make the monthly payment very competitive.
