The United State Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been committed to providing loan programs for prospective borrowers with low-income or moderate income afford homes in rural areas. Many real estate professionals are not aware of the government backed mortgage loans. More borrowers are able to qualify for a USDA home-purchase mortgage due to the qualifications being more liberal compared with other conventional mortgage programs.
INCOME QUALIFICATIONS
USDA home loans are not designed for high-income earners. In order to qualify borrowers cannot earn more than 115% of the median income for the area in which they plan to purchase their home. Mobile Alabama's income limit for a 1-4 family home is $75,000 and 5-8 family home is $97,000.
PROPERTY QUALIFICATIONS
Many borrowers think of a rural area as a secluded area, which isn't always the case. Usually the home will be a single family residence located outside of a major city, however there are multi-family dwellings as well. A USDA rural development mortgage may be used to purchase new manufactured housing if the home is built on a permanent foundation. Many mortgage programs do not allow the purchase of manufactured housing. The home that is being purchased is expected to be quality (not a fixer upper) homes of modest design.
CREDIT QULAIFICATIONS
While most mortgage programs have strict credit requirements, the USDA Rural Development credit qualifications tend to be a little more flexible. In some instances your overall borrowing profile may compensate for some shortcomings on your credit report, which may allow you to qualify for a USDA loan.
REPAYMENT QUALIFICATIONS
The most important factor of a USDA mortgage is your ability to pay back the loan. Your lender must be assured that you can repay the loan with reasonable payments and your profile must meet the USDA's criteria in order to be approved for the loan.
DOWN PAYMENT QUALIFICATIONS
USDA mortgages may be obtained with no down payment in some instances. Borrowers even have the ability to receive a loan for up to a 100 percent of the home's appraised value.
