Arkansas USDA Loan Rates, Closing Costs & Stats
Arkansas
USDA loans are zero-downpayment loans targeted towards lower-income households in rural areas. They
can be made directly by the US Department of Agriculture or through a participating lender-- and they
typically to borrowers with credit scores over 640. They can have subsidized rates, making them very
competitive in terms of cost, but they have more stringent standards on who is eligible as well as
specific covenants such as only being available in rural areas and limits on home size.
