USDA homes, as explained in a previous show, are homes that reside within an area that the US government has set aside as a Designated Rural Area. These homes qualify for USDA financing which does not require a down payment but does carry a high monthly mortgage insurance rate.

If you currently have a USDA loan you may not be aware that you have the option to do something called a USDA Streamline Refinance. With this type of refinance you do not need to order a new appraisal for your home and you can be financed up to the principal amount for your existing loan. Doing this streamlined refinance may allow you to lower your monthly payment and interest rate without having to spend any money out of pocket. Most of the cost included in this type of refinance is either rolled into the loan or credited by the lender. At RP Funding we never charge our clients any lender fees and we guarantee the lowest rates.
