USDA 502Direct Loan Packaging
This program helps low- and very-low-income applicants buy decent, safe, and sanitary housing in eligible rural areas by providing payment assistance to increase their applicant’s repayment ability. Payment assistance reduces the mortgage payment for a short time. The amount of assistance is determined by the adjusted family income. Borrowers are required to repay all or a portion of the payment assistance received over the life of the loan when the title to the property transfers, or the borrower is no longer living in the dwelling.
