Real people. Real challenges. Real mortgage success.

Rent kept climbing and we were going nowhere. Kevin at Oxford helped us escape into homeownership in Houma through the USDA program. Zero down, fixed monthly payment, and we're building equity now instead of padding a landlord's retirement. Kevin showed us the way out.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ask A USDA Expert
How does a Louisiana USDA loan work?

A Louisiana USDA loan is backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, allowing lenders to offer no down payment financing. You buy a home in rural Louisiana, and the government guarantee makes better terms possible.

Are Louisiana USDA loans only for farms?

No. Louisiana USDA loans are for regular homes in rural and suburban areas, not farms. Single family homes, condos, and manufactured homes in eligible Louisiana locations all work.

What is the Louisiana USDA loan limit?

There is no set maximum for Louisiana USDA loans. How much you can borrow depends on your income, debts, and the home price. We help you understand what fits your budget.

How much are Louisiana USDA loan closing costs?

Closing costs for Louisiana USDA loans typically run 2% to 5% of the loan amount. These cover title, appraisal, and lender fees. Sellers can contribute toward your closing costs too.

Can I use a Louisiana USDA loan for a manufactured home?

Yes. Louisiana USDA loans can finance manufactured homes if they are on a permanent foundation and meet HUD standards. The home must be your primary residence in an eligible Louisiana area.

What documents do I need for a Louisiana USDA loan?

For a Louisiana USDA loan, you will need pay stubs, two years of tax returns, bank statements, and ID. We give you a simple checklist and only ask for what we actually need.

Is a Louisiana USDA loan a good option?

A Louisiana USDA loan is a great option if you are buying in rural Louisiana and want to avoid a down payment. The rates are competitive and the monthly payments are often lower than other loan types.
