Guaranteed Rural Housing Program in Minnesota

Minnesota home buyers can still buy a home in Minnesota with no down payment. It is offered through the USDA and applies to people buying homes in rural Minnesota. See list of areas below. The Guaranteed Rural Housing (GRH) loan program is a government insured single-family home loan program for low-to-moderate income borrowers looking to purchase a home in a rural development area. This program is an excellent option to offer Minnesota borrowers who aren't able to make a significant down payment on a home. It is an affordable way to achieve the dream of home ownership by helping them get into an affordable Minnesota Mortgage with no down payment and a very favorable Minnesota mortgage rate.

The circle around the Twin Cities where it is available is Goodhue County, Rice County, Northfield, Randolph, Western half of Carver County, Leseur, Sibley County, Elko, New Prague, Belle Plaine, Norwood, Cologne, Waconia, Mayer, Watertown, Delano, Buffalo, Monticello, Big Lake, Zimmerman, Isanti County, and all of Chisago County except Wyoming. Any property further out is qualified except St. Cloud, Duluth, Hibbing, Rochester, and Mankato.
