What is a USDA Loan?
USDA loans are mortgages backed by the U.S. Dept of Agriculture as part of its Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan program.
Texas USDA loans are intended to be loans for borrowers with lower to average income. They offer home financing with no down payment, reduced insurance, and lower rates.
Compared to other home loan programs, USDA interest rates are some of the lowest rates that we can offer. Another advantage of USDA, is that USDA rates some of the best, matched only by VA loan rates. At Lone Star Financing we specialize in Texas USDA loans and can close loans fast.
To get the lowest possible rate, then you will need an excellent credit score. You should also have a low debt-to-income ratio. Making a larger down payment will also be a factor to get the lowest rate possible.
