USDA requires the property to be in a designated rural area, be a primary residence, and meet USDA property condition standards. We verify address eligibility at no charge before you write an offer.
USDA requires the home to be a primary residence and meet minimum property standards. Investment properties, vacation homes, and income-producing farms do not qualify.
