No Down Payment Mortgage in Wisconsin: USDA Rural Housing

Posted by Brian Collins on January 26th, 2010

It is becoming harder and harder for a Wisconsin first time home buyers to purchase a home, yet there are still many affordable homes if you have a down payment or the advantage of a program that helps you qualify for more home.

Guaranteed Rural Home Loans: Rural families and individuals may be eligible to become homeowners with the help of a U.S. Department of Agriculture – Rural Development guaranteed loan. Sometimes good credit and a steady income are not enough to qualify. A sizable down-payment may also be required. But when the Agency agrees to guarantee a loan, lending institutions can help buyers with 100% financing, while incurring little risk. Through the Guaranteed Rural Housing Loan Program, low and moderate income people can qualify for mortgages even without a down-payment.

To view detailed program information visit our no money down Rural Housing page of our website.

Eligible Persons

  • Have an adequate and dependable income.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen or be legally admitted to the United States for permanent residence.
  • An adjusted annual household income that does not exceed the published limits for the county in which you purchase. Call me for information on the income limits for your area. Income includes the total gross income of the applicant, co-applicant, and any other adult in the household. It excludes certain expenses and adjustments.
  • A credit history that indicates a reasonable willingness to meet obligations as they become due and demonstrates repayment ability.
