A USDA loan is a government-backed mortgage offering 100% financing — no down payment — for low-to-moderate-income buyers in eligible rural and suburban areas. Much of Florida outside the major metros qualifies.
You must meet county income limits and buy in an eligible location. USDA charges a small guarantee fee instead of PMI. We'll check the address and your income against the limits.
