If you are looking to buy a home in the donut counties surrounding Indianapolis, there is a chance that you might qualify for zero down payment with an Indianapolis USDA Rural Housing Loan. As the name implies, this is a program which benefits homebuyers shopping for property in rural areas. This includes eligible areas of each county sharing a border to Marion County (Hamilton, Boone, Hendricks, Morgan, Johnson, Shelby, Hancock) and beyond. You might even be able to get a USDA loan if you are buying a home in the suburbs or exurbs, so long as it falls within an eligible area.
Formally known as the “USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan Program,” USDA home loans are insured through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The program has been in existence for several years now. Indeed, billions of dollars in government funds have gone toward helping hundreds of thousands of homebuyers to purchase rural houses around Indianapolis and across the country.
Many Indianapolis homebuyers have no idea this great program even exists. While government-backed FHA and VA loans (which we can also help you with) receive plenty of press, USDA loans are often overlooked. But with a USDA loan, the rural home of your dreams could be within your reach.
