USDA Loan: It’s Becoming Popular

Updated January 2017

It wasn’t all that long ago when few people even know about the USDA loan program and those that did thought it had to be you owned a farm in order to qualify for a USDA loan. But not today – most homeowners who are shopping for a home outside a major city are surprised to learn that many properties qualify for a USDA loan even though they can hardly be considered “rural”.

USDA Loan Highlights

  • A USDA loan is backed by the USDA
  • Can be used to buy a new home or refinance an existing mortgage
  • Many people can qualify – it is “not just for farmers”

Who Can Qualify for a USDA Loan?

USDA loan eligibility is determined by property, so depending on what zip code and county the property is located it may be eligible for a USDA financing. When qualifying for a USDA loan, it is very similar to qualifying for a FHA loan – it is important to have a current income that you can document, a decent credit history, a demonstrated ability to repay the loan. Not all lenders have experience helping people with USDA loans, so it is important that you choose a lender with the experience and underwriting capability available in house for USDA loans.

IMPORTANT MORTGAGE DISCLOSURES:

When inquiring about a mortgage on this site, this is not a mortgage application. Upon the completion of your inquiry, we will work hard to match you with a lender who may assist you with a mortgage application and provide mortgage product eligibility requirements for your individual situation.

Any mortgage product that a lender may offer you will carry fees or costs including closing costs, origination points, and/or refinancing fees. In many instances, fees or costs can amount to several thousand dollars and can be due upon the origination of the mortgage credit product.

When applying for a mortgage credit product, lenders will commonly require you to provide a valid social security number and submit to a credit check . Consumers who do not have the minimum acceptable credit required by the lender are unlikely to be approved for mortgage refinancing.

Minimum credit ratings may vary according to lender and mortgage product. In the event that you do not qualify for a credit rating based on the required minimum credit rating, a lender may or may not introduce you to a credit counseling service or credit improvement company who may or may not be able to assist you with improving your credit for a fee.
