USDA Loan Basics

November 11, 2010 By usdaloan

The USDA loan program has become popular as other mortgage loan programs have been harder and harder to qualify for – and not just because the USDA loan program is a no-down-payment loan program.  There are other USDA loan advantages (such as no mortgage insurance) that have made this a popular choice for many homeowners who are looking to buy a home.

As with any loan program, there are some basic things about the USDA loan program that if you know them and can be informed about how the program generally works, then you can lean on your loan officer at your USDA lender for the rest of the information.

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.
