What are USDA Loans?

USDA loans are government-backed mortgages aimed at helping low- to moderate-income individuals buy homes in rural areas, with no down payment required. They offer benefits like lower interest rates and relaxed credit requirements, but have specific income limits and property location criteria. These loans are ideal for primary residences in eligible areas, not for investment or vacation properties.

Derek is always a pleasure to work with. I’ve known him for several years now and anyone that I know of that is looking to purchase a property I always refer them to Derek. He takes the time to answer questions and really cares about his clients. It’s nice that he stayed in touch with us long after we’ve purchased our properties going through him and his team.
