What is a USDA Loan?

The USDA 502 Guaranteed Loan Program is designed to help homebuyers in eligible rural areas secure affordable housing with no down payment required. Backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, this loan offers competitive interest rates, flexible credit requirements, and lower mortgage insurance costs compared to conventional loans. Borrowers work with approved lenders, and the USDA provides a guarantee, reducing the lender’s risk and making homeownership more accessible.

The motto was first adopted in 1959 and is taken from the Gospel of Matthew in the Bible, where Jesus says, "With God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). The motto is meant to inspire Ohioans to work hard and believe in their abilities, knowing that with God, anything is possible.
