USDA Loans in Monroe Washington is about to change. The changes go into affect on October 1st, 2013. This does not eliminate Monroe from the program, but it does reduce the area that buyers who want to use this financing program can buy in.   So, what is the USDA Loan program? My son refers to it as the Free Beef loan, but it has nothing to do with that. Well, it goes by many names.The full name is USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan program (United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development).  Now you see why there are so many abbreviated references for it.
