What Is a USDA Loan?

A USDA loan is a government-backed mortgage option that helps low- to moderate-income buyers purchase homes in eligible rural and suburban areas. With no down payment, competitive interest rates, and reduced mortgage insurance costs, it’s one of the most affordable loan programs available for those who qualify.

USDA loans are ideal for buyers who meet income and location requirements. At CLG, we walk you through the USDA loan process to determine your eligibility and guide you toward the best path forward.
