USDA Loans - 0% Down Home Financing

Make Homeownership Possible with Zero Money Down

USDA loans are one of the most powerful - yet underutilized - home financing options available today. If you've been told you can't afford a home because you don't have a down payment saved, a USDA loan could change everything. With 100% financing, no money down, and competitive interest rates, USDA loans help families achieve homeownership who otherwise thought it was out of reach.

Anchor Mortgage is a Direct USDA Lender - a rare designation that only a select few mortgage companies in the Myrtle Beach and Charleston area hold. This means we underwrite, approve, and fund your USDA loan in-house with faster closings and more control over the approval process.

Why USDA Loans Are Perfect for the Grand Strand

While Charleston has been largely zoned out of USDA eligibility due to population growth, the areas around Myrtle Beach still have huge USDA-eligible zones. Conway, Longs, Loris, Green Sea, Little River, and portions of Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach all qualify

USDA loans aren't just for farmers anymore. If you're buying a primary residence in an eligible rural or suburban area, you likely qualify. Here's what you need:

  • ✅ Close loans faster - No waiting on third-party lenders
  • ✅ Make our own underwriting decisions - More flexibility for unique situations

We've been originating USDA loans since 2004 and have helped hundreds of families in South Carolina achieve homeownership with zero money down.

USDA Loan Benefits

Zero Down Payment
100% financing means you don't need thousands saved up to buy a home. Your entire purchase price is financed.

Low Mortgage Insurance
USDA charges just 0.35% annually for mortgage insurance - significantly lower than FHA's 0.55%-0.85%.

Competitive Rates
USDA loans typically offer interest rates lower than conventional and FHA loans.

Flexible Credit Guidelines
Don't have perfect credit? USDA loans evaluate your overall financial picture, not just your credit score.

Seller Can Pay Closing Costs
Sellers can contribute up to 6% toward your closing costs, meaning you could buy a home with virtually no money out of pocket.
