3 Reasons to Consider a USDA Mortgage
- Rural homes in Lima, Illinois are often financed through USDA Rural Housing Loan programs. Although it is certainly not new, the USDA Rural Housing Loan program may be one of the most overlooked opportunities available to prospective home buyers. Established in 1949 by the US Department of Agriculture, its goal is to give residents of rural areas the opportunity to own a home and promote development in underdeveloped areas.
- There are certain eligibility requirements for both the borrower and the property to be purchased. Borrowers must meet certain income, credit and employment requirements while the home to be purchased must lie within the USDA’s Property Eligibility Map. Since the program began, over 2.7 million rural borrowers have become proud homeowners. Here are 3 compelling reasons why this is such an outstanding prospect for anyone thinking of buying a home:
- Rural does not mean remote Please do not assume that the eligible properties are all located miles and miles from civilization. A quick check with the USDA’s website will allow you to track down homes that meet the USDA guidelines. Guess what? Many of them are in close proximity to some of the nation’s fastest growing metro areas – including places surrounding major cities.

USDA Affordability
Unparalleled affordability Lima USDA financing is one of the only mortgages available other than those for members of the US military that offers zero money down (note: there may be some programs available in certain locations where 100% financing may exist). It is an excellent option for those with lower incomes or less than perfect credit. Mortgage insurance is not required and loans can be used to purchase or refinance. Monthly payments are kept affordable, thanks to the fact that the loans are 30-year fixed rate mortgages. More borrowers are eligible than ever before As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that came about in 2009, the guidelines for USDA home loans have become more streamlined and opened the door for higher eligibility rates. Borrowers must still meet certain income requirements and provide a credit report; however, the guidelines are not as strict as they were previously. To learn more about Lima USDA Rural Housing loans and their eligibility requirements, discuss your home purchase plans with a licensed mortgage consultant from Smart Mortgage Centers.
Lima (/ˈliːmə/, Spanish pronunciation: [ˈlima], Quechua: [ˈlɪma], Aymara: [ˈlima]) is the capital and the largest city of Peru. It is located in the valleys of the Chillón, Rímac and Lurín rivers, in the central coastal part of the country, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Together with the seaport of Callao, it forms a contiguous urban area known as the Lima Metropolitan Area. With a population of more than 10 million,[3] Lima is the most populous metropolitan area of Peru and the third-largest city in the Americas (as defined by “city proper”), behind São Paulo and Mexico City.
Lima was founded by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro on January 18, 1535, as Ciudad de los Reyes. It became the capital and most important city in the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru. Following the Peruvian War of Independence, it became the capital of the Republic of Peru. Around one-third of the national population lives in the metropolitan area.
