USDA Loan Requirements (For First-Time Home Buyers)

[@alisha478]

I did this loan 2 years ago after following you and Shahedda Hill on this platform. You made it so easy! Continue to bless us with this knowledge!

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

Wonderful! Thanks for watching. :)

[@alisha478]

@SheOwnsAh Hill the process was easy I was approved in May of 2020 but I didn’t find a home I liked until September I closed in November of that year. The best advice I can give you is to make sure you get exactly what you want and not settle. The only small issue that I had was with the underwriter I had to give an explanation about a few reoccurring charges that I had on my credit card each month which is pretty common with any loan.

[@missbttrsctch]

[@J_WheelerDoll30]

I just wanted to say that usda does limit the location of where you purchase. It’s mainly for rural areas. Usda guaranteed is for median low income and usda direct is for very low income. I had to do research on my own on the differences because the loan officers acted like they didn’t know what I was talking about. We kept getting denied but realized, the officers gave us the application for the very low income and we of course overqualified for that. I did some digging and finally told them they were wrong and went elsewhere. Our lender we have now didn’t know either but we have our pre approval amount a few weeks ago. =]

[@bourbon.36]

I used a local bank to get a USDA Guaranteed loan last summer before rates started creeping up. It's an easy process similar to a conventional loan as long as you have done a little research and have all docs and anything a lender will typically need ready for them when you start the process. Closing was extended out to closer to 45 days, but that is because at the time USDA was backed up and they have their own approval on top of the bank that they have to do. When it was all said and done, at closing it cost me about $3800 for closing cost and then the loan was transferred to US Bank.

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

Wow! thanks for sharing your experience and for watching. :)

I hope you see this, first off this is BY FAR the best and most thoroughly explained video on this subject I have seen. So thank you for that. Second, if you are in a Union and you take money out of your annuity fund to help with your closing costs do you need to have it in your bank account to “season” before you can go for the home buying process? Do they (the underwriter) look at this negatively?

I will also consider a FHA as i am willing to put some money down, to bring down the monthly and interest of the life of the loan. I will be reaching out to the links in the description.

Ours was 620 score. your debt ratio & income impact how much house you can buy. We put 5% down. Fixed 4.5% interest. We did FHA in rural area. Is this the same as USDA? Our extra insurance stuff is $345 plus our house loan payment. Outside all this get the home appliance insurance. It saved us when our outside unit went to crap. We use" first American home warranty ". $1800 to fix but we paid $465. Trust every so often something will break & your responsible for fixing it. It's also a good idea to save $1000 for home repairs.

I had one of these, couldn't find a home in my price range that could pass the extensive inspection that is required. That's 500 bucks every time it happens out of pocket. Additionally the extremely competitive atmosphere here made it almost impossible to take advantage of the loan. Time limits run out and you have to repeat the process.

You mentioned that a USDA Guaranteed Loan cannot be used for "income producing land."

Or does that mean that the land can *never* be used for agricultural purposes?

@Melissa Merry, Hi you can use a USDA Single Close Construction Loan to purchase land to build your home on or build on land you already have (with certain criteria), or payoff land you are financing to use. I have attached receipts (Proof), straight from the USDA. Answers to your questions are in this guide. I am going to go with this method. Good luck:) www.rd.usda.gov/files/RD-SFH-ComboConstructionNotes.pdf

[@mattbrew11]

If you want to build on land it must be owned outright or you can not pull permits but you can do a loan to purchase land and convert it to a construction loan where you are paying monthly during the loan but it can not then be converted to a usda loan only conventional.

Of course - low-income borrowers will jump at the chance; make a year's worth of payments and fail, and they will lose those payments plus the house. They are basically placeholders.
