$0 Down for Eligible Rural & Suburban Areas

USDA loans — $0 down, more than you'd think qualifies.

USDA loans offer 100% financing in eligible areas — and 'rural' covers far more of Oregon, Washington, and Arizona than most buyers expect.

Why USDA

The most overlooked $0-down loan out there

Backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, USDA loans reward buyers in eligible communities with true 100% financing. The catch most people get wrong: 'rural' is broad. Plenty of suburbs and smaller towns around the Portland metro, the Pacific Northwest, and Arizona qualify — it's always worth checking before you assume it's off the table.

  • $0 down payment — finance 100% of the purchase for eligible buyers.
  • Competitive fixed rates and a lower guarantee fee than comparable FHA MIP.
  • Broad eligibility maps — many suburbs qualify, not just farmland.
  • Designed for low-to-moderate income households, by county.
  • A powerful option to pair with your homebuying budget in the right area.

Do you qualify?

USDA eligibility comes down to two things: the property's location and your household income. Both have limits that vary by county. It takes Mindy just a moment to check an address and your income against the current maps — so you'll know for sure instead of guessing.

You might be surprised what's eligible

Buyers routinely assume they don't qualify because they're not on a farm. In reality, many growing suburbs and smaller communities are inside USDA-eligible zones. If you're open to those areas, this loan can save you the entire down payment.
