The USDA Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program may help eligible borrowers purchase a primary residence in an eligible rural area. NorthStar Funding can help you understand the location, household-income, property, occupancy, credit, and documentation review required for your individual scenario.
USDA eligibility starts with the property and household
USDA Guaranteed Loan eligibility depends on factors that include property location and household income. These requirements are determined using current USDA tools and program guidance, so eligibility must be reviewed for the specific address and household before any financing recommendation is made.
Review the USDA Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program.
Purchase planning and underwriting review
Before moving forward, we review the intended property, occupancy, household information, income and employment documentation, assets, credit history, and current program requirements. The property must meet applicable USDA eligibility and appraisal standards, and the complete file must meet underwriting requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Is every home outside a major city eligible for USDA financing?
No. USDA uses its own current eligibility designations. A property address should be checked using the current USDA resources as part of the review.
Does USDA review household income?
Yes. Household-income eligibility is part of the USDA Guaranteed Loan Program review and varies by location and household circumstances.
Can USDA financing be used for an investment property or vacation home?
The USDA Guaranteed Loan Program is generally intended for an eligible borrower’s primary residence. We can confirm how current occupancy requirements apply to a specific scenario.
