The USDA Home Loan, backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is designed to assist low-to-moderate-income individuals and families in purchasing homes in eligible rural and suburban areas. This program offers:

• Zero Down Payment: Finance up to 100% of the home’s purchase price.
• Competitive Interest Rates: Benefit from rates often lower than conventional loans.
• Reduced Mortgage Insurance Costs: Lower monthly premiums compared to other loan types.

To qualify for a USDA loan in Arizona, applicants must meet specific requirements:

Location of the Property

The home must be located in a USDA-designated rural area. Fortunately, a significant portion of Arizona qualifies, including regions outside major metropolitan areas. To verify if a specific property is eligible, use the USDA Property Eligibility Map.

• 1-4 Member Household: Up to $112,450
• 5-8 Member Household: Up to $148,450

These limits can vary based on the county and specific circumstances. It’s essential to consult with our loan specialists to determine exact eligibility.
