The biggest USDA mistake I see: buyers assume their address qualifies without checking. USDA eligibility maps update. Verify the property first.
USDA loans carry a guarantee fee — 1% upfront, 0.35% annual. Roll the upfront cost into the loan. The annual fee adds to your monthly payment.
05
FHA requires 3.5% down. USDA requires zero. If you qualify for both, USDA usually wins on upfront costs.
VA loans also offer zero down — but only for veterans. If you're not eligible for VA, USDA is the next best zero-down option.
06
Vacaville's outer neighborhoods and nearby unincorporated areas are more likely to hit USDA eligibility. Dense city-center parcels often don't qualify.
Solano County's income limits reflect the broader Bay Area economy. Higher earners may still qualify here versus stricter rural counties.
