Learn About USDA Loans in Marysville, WA

Rural-area homes may qualify for USDA loans. These loans provide 100% financing, including most or all closing costs. No down payment, low monthly mortgage insurance and low interest rates, so payments may be lower than an FHA loan. Not limited to first-time buyers.

What is a USDA loan?

Perhaps the most advantageous loan available to non-veterans, the USDA loan helps families outside major metropolitan areas buy or improve homes and property. In some cases, the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) actually finances the loan. In others, they simply insure it for a private financial institution.

What are the advantages?

• No down payment and 30-year fixed interest rate
• Relaxed requirements for credit and income
• Flexibility: buy or refinance a home, purchase or improve property to a maximum of $10,000, if value allows. Improvements and livability issues are addressed by appraiser.
• Refinances are restricted to rate reduction on a current USDA loan with no cash out ~ no appraisal required.

Who is eligible?

Most Americans buying in rural areas are eligible. Your home must be a single-family structure. Property must also qualify. There are income limits, which depend on the average income in the county where you’re buying and the number of employed members of the household. The combined income of all occupants may not exceed the county income limitation.

Eligible areas include parts of:

• King County, Washington
• Skagit County, Washington
• Snohomish County, Washington

How much can my loan be?

USDA loans have no limitation for loan amount except for the maximum amount you can qualify for. The amount you qualify for depends on your income, financial situation and credit history. Our mortgage advisors can provide an estimate with no obligation.
