Real people. Real challenges. Real mortgage success.

My neighbor used Chad at Oxford for their USDA purchase and said the process was the smoothest lending experience they'd had. Same for us in Arlington. Nothing down, solid rate, and Chad handled all the USDA specifics. When everyone in the neighborhood recommends the same lender, that says something.

Shawn at Oxford walked us through the USDA income requirements for our Lubbock purchase. We were right at the threshold and Shawn knew exactly how deductions and household adjustments factored in. Qualified, closed, and now we own our home. Shawn's program knowledge made the difference.

We were worried our income was too high for USDA. Marquis at Oxford checked the limits for our Plano area and we qualified with room to spare. The income caps are more generous than people think. Zero down, good rate, and Marquis confirmed everything before we got our hopes up.

Our realtor specifically suggested David at Oxford for USDA purchases. Now we know why. David knew the eligibility areas, the income requirements, and the timeline better than anyone. Bought in Corpus Christi with nothing down and the seller's agent complimented how smoothly Oxford ran things.

A coworker in El Paso bought through the USDA program with Abigail at Oxford and raved about it. Had the same experience. Zero down, great communication, and Abigail managed the program paperwork effortlessly. Already told three other people to look into it with Oxford.

Shawn at Oxford communicated every step of our Fort Worth USDA purchase clearly. No jargon, no assumptions about what we already knew. The program has nuances and Shawn made sure we understood each one. Zero down, closed smoothly, and we felt informed the entire time.

What impressed me about Marquis at Oxford was the expertise on the USDA program. Not every lender knows it well. Marquis answered questions I didn't even know to ask about our Austin purchase. Eligibility, income caps, property requirements. All explained clearly before we ever signed anything.

I'd heard USDA closings take longer but David at Oxford got ours done in Dallas right on schedule. Managed the program requirements efficiently and kept the timeline tight. Zero down, closed on time, and the communication throughout was outstanding. David runs a well organized operation.

Every other loan option would have required draining our savings for a down payment. Abigail at Oxford showed us USDA for our Houston home and we bought with zero out of pocket for the down payment. Savings stayed intact. Peace of mind stayed intact. Abigail found the smartest path.

The USDA program has extra steps compared to conventional. Chad at Oxford handled every one of them on our San Antonio purchase without missing a beat. Eligibility verification, income documentation, property requirements. Chad knew the process cold and kept us informed at every stage.

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

A Texas 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 Texas, and the government guarantee makes better terms possible.

Are Texas USDA loans only for farms?

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

What is the Texas USDA loan limit?

There is no set maximum for Texas 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 Texas USDA loan closing costs?

Closing costs for Texas 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 Texas USDA loan for a manufactured home?

Yes. Texas 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 Texas area.

What documents do I need for a Texas USDA loan?

For a Texas 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 Texas USDA loan a good option?

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