USDA Loans in Detroit: what to expect
A USDA loan near Detroit is a home mortgage guaranteed by USDA Rural Development through approved lenders. For qualified buyers it offers financing with no down payment. It is limited to eligible areas and to household incomes within USDA limits, and the home must be your primary residence.
Eligibility depends on the exact address, not the county. Dense parts of Metro Detroit are generally not eligible, while some addresses in outer areas of Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair, Livingston and Lapeer counties may be. Check the address on USDA's property eligibility map before you fall in love with a house, and confirm with a lender, since maps are updated.
If a home is not eligible, compare an FHA loan or a MSHDA first-time buyer loan. See all Metro Detroit lenders.

Licensing and disclosures in Michigan
Michigan licenses mortgage brokers, lenders and servicers through DIFS (the Department of Insurance and Financial Services), and individual mortgage loan originators need their own license unless an exemption applies. Banks and credit unions are exempt from the state company license, and their loan officers are registered in NMLS instead. Either way, the NMLS ID must appear on applications and ads: look it up on NMLS Consumer Access.
USDA guaranteed loans are only made by USDA-approved lenders. Ask the lender to confirm its approval, and check your address and income on USDA's eligibility site.
