USDA Loan

 

What makes a USDA loan desirable is they are ZERO down, LOW interest rate mortgages.  The United States Department of Agriculture guarantees the loans. They help very low-to-moderate income buyers become homeowners. The home must be in a rural area, which the USDA defines as having a population under 35,000. There are also a few suburban areas that meet the USDA criteria.
