Washington County Maryland - USDA Rural Development Home Mortgage Loan - No Money Down - 100% Financing

Washington County Maryland - USDA Rural Development Home Mortgage Loan - No Money Down - 100% Financing

Washington County Maryland USDA Rural Loan Program No Money DownThrough a special loan program from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Loan Program, home buyers in Washington County Maryland may qualify for moderate income housing opportunities in rural communities. The USDA Rural Loan promotes home ownership by offering No Money Down Financing or 100% Mortgage Financing, with No Monthly Mortgage Insurance requirements, and flexible sources allowed for paying a home buyers closing costs.

This loan program is available throughout Washington County except for areas in and around Fountainhead-Orchard Hills and Halfway. The remainder of the County, including Big Pool, Brownsville, Clear Spring, Fairplay, Hancock, and Maugansville, is eligible for this Rural Loan Program.

Eligible properties must meet certain restrictions regarding the condition of the property (i.e. no fixer uppers), no in-ground pools, and the land value can't exceed 30% of the properties appraised value. The house must be the primary residence.

Home buyer restrictions include a minimum 620 middle credit score for all borrowers on the loan and the combined household income can't exceed $89,150 (family size 1-4) and $117,700 (family size 5+). Income in excess of these limits can still qualify for the USDA Loan provided the home buyer can document certain deductions to their gross income as determined by the Washington County USDA Rural Income Loan Calculator.

Home buyers purchasing a house in an eligible USDA Rural Loan area with a household income that meets USDA Rural Loan income requirements can determine how much the USDA Loan program will save them on their upfront down payment and monthly payment using the USDA Vs. FHA Comparison Calculator. When evaluating the benefits of a USDA Vs. FHA loan the home buyer only has to decide if they should save on the monthly payment or buy a more expensive house with the same payment as a lower priced house using FHA financing.

Thanks to the USDA Rural Development Loan Program a Talbot County home buyer can move into a home using 100% Mortgage Financing, with No Down Payment, No Monthly Mortgage Insurance, and extremely flexible sources allowed to cover closing costs and escrows. A Talbot County home buyer can purchase a house with only $450 for the cost of the appraisal when the transaction is structured properly with the seller paying the closing costs and escrows.

If this sounds to good to be true its not. The U.S. Department of Agriculture wants to ensure mortgage opportunity in rural communities for moderate income households. The means that you can purchase a house in Easton, Newcomb, Oxford, Royal Oak, St. Michaels, Tighman Island, Trappe, Whitman, Wye Mills and everywhere else in Talbot County with no money down financing using the USDA Rural Development Loan program.

The USDA Rural Loan Program is a true no money down mortgage loan, without monthly mortgage insurance or MIP requirements, generous allowance for covering the buyers closing costs, and no payment suprises since it is a safe secure 30 year fixed rate mortgage.

The USDA Program Guidelines establish requirements for the borrowers and properties, which include:

  • all borrowers on the mortgage loan must have a minimum 620 middle credit score
  • household income must be "moderate" as defined by the USDA Rural Loan program as gross income under $89,150 for a family household size of four or less and gross income under $117,700 for a family household of five or less. If the household income exceeds these guidelines refer to the Talbot Maryland USDA Income Qualifying Calculator to determine if USDA approved deductions can be used for USDA qualifying purposes
