Defining USDA Loans in CA

A USDA home loan is backed by the government's Department of Agriculture, known as both a USDA rural development loan and a USDA mortgage, and is available exclusively in rural areas. Unlike FHA loans, which call for a minimum down payment of 3.5%, a USDA mortgage loan does not require any down payment.
