USDA Home Loans in Ohio — 0% Down for Qualified Buyers

Serving qualified homebuyers in eligible rural and suburban areas throughout Eastern Ohio, including communities near Zanesville, Coshocton and Cambridge. 

 USDA Rural Development loans help qualified buyers purchase eligible primary residences with no down payment. Income and property-location requirements apply, but many Eastern Ohio communities qualify. 

 A USDA Rural Development loan is a government-backed mortgage that helps qualified buyers purchase primary residences in eligible rural and suburban communities. Its signature benefit is 0% down financing. 

  USDA financing can reduce the upfront cost of buying a home while providing the stability of a fixed-rate mortgage.  

• 0% down for qualified buyers 
• Competitive fixed-rate options 
• No first-time buyer requirement 
• No prepayment penalties 
• Closing costs may be financed when the appraised value supports them 
• Seller-paid closing costs may be available

 For qualified buyers purchasing eligible properties, USDA financing can make homeownership possible sooner than expected. 

 USDA loans are available in eligible rural and many suburban communities. Eligibility is determined by the property’s exact address—not simply its city or county. Many areas surrounding Zanesville, Coshocton and Cambridge may qualify. 

 USDA eligibility is based on both the buyer and the property. The home must be an eligible primary residence, household income must fall within USDA limits, and borrowers need stable income, manageable debt and an acceptable credit history. 

• First-time and repeat buyers may qualify 
• Household-income limits apply 
• The home must be in a USDA-eligible area 
• The property must be used as a primary residence 
• Buyers must demonstrate the ability to repay the loan

 You do not need to be a first-time buyer—or a farmer—to qualify. 

 USDA loans aren’t just for farmers or first-time buyers. Eligible properties may be located in rural or suburban communities and can include land when they remain primarily residential and meet USDA requirements. 

 We’ll check property eligibility, review household-income requirements and explain your USDA financing options with no pressure or obligation.
