USDA Loans

USDA loans: zero-down financing for eligible areas.

Backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, USDA loans make homeownership affordable in many suburban and rural communities.

USDA loans support buyers purchasing in qualified rural and suburban areas - which cover far more of Florida than most people realize. They're built for moderate-income households and can finance up to 100% of the purchase price.

Because they combine no down payment with reduced mortgage insurance costs, USDA loans can be one of the most affordable paths available for buyers who meet the location and income requirements.
