USDA Loan

USDA loans are an excellent option for homebuyers who prefer to live in a rural setting. This program, which is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture, assists approved lenders in providing low- and moderate-income households the chance to own adequate, decent, and safe dwellings as their primary residence in eligible rural areas.

VA Loan

Much like FHA loans, VA loans are insured by the government. However, they are only available to current members of the Armed Forces or veterans of the Armed Forces (which includes the Reserves and National Guard). The reason is that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is the government agency responsible for insuring these loans. This program has helped millions of members of the U.S. military buy a home ever since its inception in 1944.
