USDA
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers a loan program for rural borrowers who meet certain income requirements. The program is managed by the Rural Housing Service (RHS), which is part of the Department of Agriculture. This type of mortgage loan is offered to "rural residents who have a steady, low or modest income, and yet are unable to obtain adequate housing through conventional financing." Income must be no higher than 115% of the adjusted area median income [AMI]. The AMI varies by county. See the link below for details.

VA
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers a loan program to military service members and their families.
Similar to the FHA program, these types of mortgages are guaranteed by the federal government. This means the VA will reimburse the lender for any losses that may result from borrower default. The primary advantage of this program (and it's a big one) is that borrowers can receive 100% financing for the purchase of a home. That means no down payment whatsoever.

Portfolio Lending
A portfolio lender is a bank or other lending institution that makes mortgage loans with the intention of holding the loans in their investment portfolios. Portfolio lenders can often offer consumers greater flexibility in the loan granting process, as well as down the road, than lenders who make mortgage loans with the intention of selling them - either immediately or at some time during the term.
