USDA Rural development loan?

[Anthony Jordan]

Hey bigger pockets members,

I was hoping to get your insight on the USDA rural development loan. I am looking to buy my first house/investment in the next six months or so after I build up my credit. One of my current agents told me to look into this loan type. It is my understanding that it is a zero down loan. Due to the fact that I'm about to have my first child and paying for my last semester of school, this sounds quite appealing. Can a few members share the pros and cons of this loan type versus other loans and what experiences each of you have had in using them. 

Thanks
