USDA Loans Are Back!

June 7, 2010 By usdaloan

The USDA loan program is back!

The USDA Guaranteed loan program is back and people can now get USDA loans subject to ““the availability of funds and statutory authority to obligate such funds to support the proposed guarantee, the statutory authority to charge a sufficient guarantee fee (if any is needed, to support the proposed guarantee with available funding), and should the lender pass on to the borrower a loan origination fee that is higher than the guarantee fee that RHS is ultimately authorized to charge on the proposed guaranteed loan, the lender agrees to promptly return the difference to the borrower.”

This means that your lender can now take your USDA loan application, issue a conditional commitment and expect that your loan can get funded.  One update to the program is that there is a new 3.5% guarantee fee – but for people who have been unable to get USDA loan financing at all, this increased fee is a small concern.

A few highlights about the USDA loan program:

Here are a few things to remember about USDA 100% loans:

  • There is a 3.5% USDA fee that can be rolled into the loan amount
  • There is no monthly PMI
  • USDA loans are only good for a primary residence
  • USDA loans are income capped based on the county
  • A minimum 620 credit score is required
  • Only certain homes qualify for USDA loans, depending on location

The USDA loan program is more popular than ever – and going into 2010 and 2011, it looks like the USDA loan is going to be a popular choice among borrowers.

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.
