The biggest USDA mistake buyers make: falling in love with a house before checking the eligibility map. Do the map check first.
USDA also charges an upfront guarantee fee and an annual fee. Both are lower than FHA's mortgage insurance — that matters long-term.

FHA requires 3.5% down. VA requires zero down but demands military eligibility. USDA is the only zero-down path for civilian buyers.
Conventional loans at zero down exist but require strong credit and private mortgage insurance. USDA's fees usually beat that combination.
06
