USDA Home Loans

A rural development loan is a home loan program from the United States Department of Agriculture. Also known as the Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program, USDA loans help low- and moderate-income families purchase homes in eligible rural areas. As an approved USDA lender, BTC Bank offers USDA mortgages in Missouri and Lamoni, IA.

When to choose a USDA Mortgage

A rural development loan may be your best choice if you meet the eligibility requirements, including your income and the property address. Homes purchased with USDA loans must be used as the borrower’s primary residence. If you find you’re not eligible for a USDA loan, you might want to try a conventional fixed-rate mortgage or home loan refinancing instead.
