Question by Taylor Sallivan: Is there mortgage insurance for USDA loans?
I’m just trying to research my loan options to get myself the lowest payment possible and the USDA loan looks very promising. The only question that I can’t seem to find an answer to is whether or not it will require Private Mortgage insurance like an FHA loan. If anyone knows that would be great. My location is in Northern Virginia if that helps at all.
