Quick Guide to USDA Rural Development Loans

Not every community qualifies—but if it does, it’s the best thing since sliced bread!  Check your listings to see if the property location qualifies http://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov. Generous household income limits also apply and you can check them out at this link as well. Generate phone calls by letting everyone know 100% financing is still available for eligible properties and borrowers. Add an additional note to the listing info and mention it in your ads.
