Common questions

What people ask about usda rural loans

Does rural mean I have to be in the middle of nowhere?

No. Many suburban communities qualify. The USDA map often surprises people and I can check your target area in minutes.

Is there an income limit?

Yes, but it adjusts for family size and is higher than most people expect. Many families who assume they do not qualify actually do.

What is the upfront cost?

There is a 1% upfront guarantee fee that can be financed into the loan, plus an annual fee of 0.35%. Both are lower than FHA.
