What is a USDA Loan?

A USDA Loan is a government-backed loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These loans help to make homeownership attainable for medium and lower-income buyers, specifically in rural areas. 

Why Choose a USDA Loan?

USDA Loans are created with a unique group of borrowers in mind, thus making them a valuable option for those who qualify. USDA benefits include:

• Low and zero down payment options
• Up to 100% financing 
• Competitive rates to conventional loans 
• Lower PMI than conventional loans
• Flexible qualifying requirements, including a minimum qualifying credit score of 640. 

Also, for our growing Ohio market, USDA Loans in Ohio require no qualifying assets and have no maximum loan amounts.

How do I get a USDA Loan in Ohio?

USDA Loans in Ohio have maximum income limits that vary by household size and county. Specifically, for a household of 1-4, the average income limit for a USDA Loan is about $108,250 a year. For a family of 5 or more, the limit can be up to $142,900*. In addition, these loans are not available in all areas since they target rural development.
