Why USDA Loans Are So Popular
Finding the right mortgage can feel overwhelming—especially when tight budgets, down payments, and credit concerns add stress. USDA Loans address many of those pain points by offering:
- 100% financing (you don’t need a down payment) for eligible properties.
- Very low interest rates and reduced closing costs.
- Flexible credit score requirements compared with some other government-backed loans.
- The chance for gift funds to cover closing when you qualify.
This makes USDA Loans a strong option if you’re buying in rural or semi-rural parts of North Carolina, or even just outside the city limits—yet want a mortgage with lower upfront cost and manageable terms.
