The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has a wonderful program to help purchase homes, in rural areas that are not farms, with no money down.

So you think you want to buy a home. You have a good job and reasonably good credit but you don’t have the 3.5, 5%, or 10% down payment that is required in order to purchase these days. You’ve heard rumors about different down payment assistance programs (DPA) and how you can get in for as little as $100 or $1000.
