Are you looking for a Zero Down home loan in Valley Center CA? USDA home loans require no money down and closing costs can be paid by the seller making USDA home loans a great alternative to FHA financing. The program is available for properties considered to be in a rural area such as Valley Center, California. There are many benefits to USDA Home Loans which buyers should be aware of while considering their financing options.
The USDA home loan is a true zero down payment program. In addition, USDA home loans have no mortgage insurance which can result in substantial savings when comparing USDA home loans to FHA home loans:
USDA vs FHA $250,000 Sales price30 Year Fixed 4.25%
| USDA | FHA | |
| Down payment | $0 | $8,750 |
| Loan amount | $250,000 | $241,250 |
| Funding Fee/UFMIP | $5000 | $2412 |
| Total Loan | $255,000 | $243,662 |
| Principal and Interest | $1254.45 | $1198.67 |

| Property Taxes | $260.42 | $260.42 |
| Property Insurance | $65 | $65 |
| Total payment | $1,642.37 | $1757.60 |
Another benefit to the USDA home loans is that it allows for closing costs to be paid in two different ways. The easiest way is to have the seller pay the closing costs. USDA home loans allow for the seller to pay up to 6% of the sales price towards closing costs. There is another way to pay closing costs. If the appraisal on the property comes in higher than the sales price, then you can finance them into the loan amount. Either way is acceptable but in today's market, having the seller pay for closing costs is not uncommon.
Some other key features of USDA home loans are as follows.
One caveat to USDA home loans is that it does have very specific income limits base upon family size for each county. However, the income limits are fairly high and generally do not limit one's ability to purchase. For USDA home loans in Valley Center California, contact me directly via email for income limits.
