The big news -- or almost news -- is that the USDA funding is still available and may continue into the near future uninterrupted.
So what is USDA funding? The Dept of Agriculture offers loans for no downpayment (yes, 100% financing) in rural areas, and in Central Oregon that includes almost everything but Bend, and there are pockets in Bend that are eligible. There are income limits on that, but our concern has been that the money will be running out. Fiscal funding will begin again June 1, but now thanks to bills working their way through Congress the current funding may increase. Stay tuned for more information on this.
If you have more questions about the Rural Development Loan Program, funded by USDA, please call me or email me and I will be sure to get you the details you would like on this or any Bend Oregon homes for sale, MLS listings in Bend or elsewhere in Central Oregon or -- my favorite -- farms and ranches.
