Program Overview

USDA Loans

A USDA loan, guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is designed to make homeownership more accessible in eligible rural and suburban areas. Many Colorado communities qualify. USDA loans allow eligible homebuyers to purchase a home with no down payment, creating an option for borrowers who have stable income but may not have significant savings set aside.

Key Benefits

  • » 100% financing for eligible borrowers — no down payment required.
  • » Lower mortgage insurance costs compared to many low-down-payment loan programs.
  • » Competitive 30-year fixed interest rates.
  • » Closing costs may be paid by the seller or financed into the loan when allowed.

Who is this for?

This loan may be a great fit if you meet the following general criteria:

  • » The property is located in a USDA-eligible rural or suburban area (we can help you verify).
  • » Your household income falls within the USDA’s income limits for the area.
  • » You have a reliable income and a reasonable credit history (many lenders look for scores around 640 or higher).
  • » The home will be used as your primary residence.

These are general guidelines. Contact us for a personalized assessment. Not a commitment to lend.
