Getting a USDA loan in Western WA

[Derik S.]

Hi guys, I:m back after having been gone for awhile. My question concerns down payments and financing. Like a lot of wannabe investors, I don:t necessarily have a chunk of money sitting around for a down payment. From what I have seen, it looks like a USDA loan is likely to be the solution here. Where in Western Washington state would a USDA loan be most likely to be approved? In particular, I:m talking about suburbs outside of Seattle, Olympia, Bellingham, and Tacoma. This is for a duplex or triplex that would act as a primary residence. I:m happy to read about USDA-friendly suburbs in the Olympic Peninsula as well, as well as any insight outside of Washington.
