Rural Development loans offer 100% financing with a minimum credit score of 640. A low rate of mortgage insurance is required and is calculated based on the loan amount. Sellers can pay up to 6% of the sales price toward your closing costs. The main requirement is the property has to be rural. This is usually any property located outside the city limits. Some parishes are 100% rural and qualify. There are also limits to the amount of household income. For a household of 1-4 persons, the limit is $75,650. For a household of 5-8 persons, the limit is $99,850. Households of 9 plus persons, add 8% of the 1-4 person income limit for each person.

Offered by the United States Department of Agriculture, USDA loans are reserved for those who reside in or are looking to purchase homes and property in eligible rural areas.
