No Down Payment

Keep your savings where they are. A Alaska USDA loan lets you buy without putting money down. That cash stays available for moving, furniture, or just peace of mind.

Real people. Real challenges. Real mortgage success.

Our family was growing and the apartment wasn't. Kyle at Oxford helped us find a USDA eligible home near Palmer with the space we needed. Nothing down, manageable payment, and a big backyard for the kids. Kyle gave our family room to grow without stretching our budget.

Needed a bigger home for our growing family but our savings were going to daycare. David at Oxford showed us the USDA program qualified us for a great place near Bethel with nothing down. Kept our savings for the kids and still got the space we desperately needed.

Never owned a home before and thought it was years away. Ryan at Oxford introduced us to the USDA program for our Ketchikan purchase. Nothing down, reasonable rate, and Ryan explained everything in plain language. First time buying felt manageable instead of terrifying. Ryan deserves credit for that.

Three kids in an apartment. We needed space but didn't have a down payment. Ian at Oxford got us into a four bedroom in Kodiak through the USDA program. Zero down, affordable payment, and the kids finally have room. Ian understood the urgency and made it happen fast.

Young couple, starter budget, big dreams. Temitayo at Oxford made it real through the USDA program in Kenai. Nothing down, low monthly cost, and a home with a yard. Temitayo turned our timeline from someday into six weeks. First home together and we're still smiling about it.

My parents never owned property. I wanted to break that cycle but didn't have much saved. Craig at Oxford showed me the USDA option in Wasilla. Zero down meant I could actually do it now. Closed last month and my parents were at the closing. First homeowner in the family.

First time buyers with limited savings. Charles at Oxford told us about the USDA program and our Sitka area qualified. Zero down payment meant we could actually buy now instead of waiting years. Charles walked us through every step and we closed feeling confident about our decision.

We almost put 5% down on a conventional loan. Hahna at Oxford said wait, your Juneau area qualifies for USDA. Zero down, kept our savings, and the monthly cost was comparable. Hahna caught an opportunity another lender completely missed.

Conventional would have required PMI at our down payment level. FHA had the mortgage insurance premium. Shawn at Oxford showed us USDA for our Fairbanks purchase and it beat both options. Zero down, lowest monthly insurance cost, and Shawn managed the program specifics seamlessly.

Another lender was steering us toward FHA. Abigail at Oxford checked our Anchorage eligibility and said USDA was the better path. Nothing down instead of 3.5%, lower monthly insurance cost, and Abigail handled the extra paperwork the USDA program requires. Glad we got a second opinion.
