What is a USDA loan?
A USDA loan is a mortgage guaranteed through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development program for homes in eligible rural and suburban areas.
Who is a USDA loan a good fit for in Arkansas?

What does it take to qualify for a USDA loan?
Full documentation, including income for the whole household. Program rules are set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (Rural Development), and the lender adds its own requirements on top.
Does a USDA loan officer need a license in Arkansas?
Yes. A USDA loan is consumer mortgage credit, so the loan officer must be licensed to originate in Arkansas. FundShift matches on the licensed states loan officers declare, and you can verify any loan officer at NMLS Consumer Access before you apply.
What are USDA rates like right now?
Rates depend on your credit, down payment, property, and the lender's pricing that day. FundShift doesn't publish a USDA rate it can't source — a matched loan officer quotes your actual rate.
How does FundShift match me with a USDA lender in Arkansas?
You submit one request. FundShift scores it and routes it to a small number of loan officers who serve Arkansas and work USDA loans, ranked on geography, specialty, and track record. FundShift is not a lender and does not make credit decisions.
How long is a typical USDA loan?
Usually 30 years, fixed.
