More info can be obtained at the Income & Property eligibility site link below (click the Direct program). The qualifications discussed in this video are specific to the Guaranteed loan program.

What is a usda loan? A USDA Home Loan from the USDA loan program, also known as the USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan Program, is a mortgage loan offered to rural property owners by the United States Department of Agriculture

➡ What is usda mortgage insurance? Mortgage insurance is a policy that protects lenders against losses that result from defaults on home mortgages. USDA requires both upfront and annual mortgage insurance for all borrowers, regardless of the amount of down payment.

➡ What is the current upfront mortgage insurance premium for usda loans? The UPMIP is currently at 1% of the base loan amount. This applies regardless of the amortization term or LTV ratio.

➡ How do you calculate the monthly mortgage insurance premium for a usda loan? Purchase Price x Percent of Amount Financed x 1.01 x .0035 / 12

Example Below using a $200,000 purchase price putting ZERO down:
$200,000 x 1.01 = $202,000
$202,000 x .0035 = $707
$707 / 12 = $58.92 / month
