WHY USDA/RD
There are a few reasons why you may choose a USDA/RD mortgage, including:
1. Zero down payment: USDA/RD mortgages do not require a down payment, making them an attractive option for borrowers who cannot afford to make a large upfront payment.
2. Lower interest rates: USDA/RD mortgages often come with lower interest rates than other types of mortgages, which could save borrowers money over the life of the loan.
3. Rural area eligibility: These mortgages are specifically designed for borrowers purchasing homes in eligible rural areas, which could make them a good option for those who want to live outside of urban areas.
