USDA Rural Development Loans: Pros and Cons To Know

@Homesteading7 how is it going for you?

[@Timmah200]

I just closed on a house with the USDA Rural Development loan....they are actually writing me a check for $500 at closing. They owe me money, haha.

[@shinrin-yoku-]

Thank you! Im disabled, low income and live in a qualifying area. My issue is that i own a house that should be condemned, so i only qualify for the $40000 loan. Im not 62 yet so i dont qualify for the $10000 grant. $40000 wont even come close to repairing my existing home. I've contacted an approved lender for advice.

My wife and I are pulling up stakes and moving out of Commiefornia, and moving soon to Idaho. This loan opportunity is really going to help because we initially want to find a home outside the city limits, in a more rural area, we fell in love with Idaho Falls, and the surrounding area. Thanks for the video, it really has inspired us.

[@bayoumortgage]

You are welcome. Enjoy Idaho🎉

[@stepasike]

So much about income limits. With a good credit score, no debts, but only SS income, I´ve been told by local agent that my income is insufficient for any USDA loan. I am in a conundrum of needing safe housing (elderly, disabled) yet stuck in place.

[@bayoumortgage]

I feel for you and know that must be frustrating. I would highly recommend looking into the USDA Direct program at your local USDA office. They make loans for people with very low incomes at much better rates than any lender could ever offer. The process is slower than what we can do but versus no options at all I think it's better. USDA Guaranteed Limits your housing payment to 29% of gross income so with SSI it would be tough. Direct is the way to go in this situation. Hope this helps!

[@stepasike]

@@bayoumortgage thanks for replying....that is precisely what I did...applied for direct loan. No go. income not sufficient. So when I read ¨very low income¨ it appears that I am in low, low low scale.

[@dm4859]

That sounds like our situation, probably. Good luck to you. Make sure you check into all low-income senior programs in your state.

If you are living in a home you obtained through a USDA loan, can you buy another home about 5 years down the road using a conventional loan? Or will that cause a problem with the USDA loan?

[@bayoumortgage]

Yes for sure. As long as you can swing both payments in your debt to income or sell it.

Thank for the great content Channing. How do they determine the Monthly Mortgage payments?

[@bayoumortgage]

Your mortgage payment is determine by your loan amount, interest rate, cost of Insurance and Taxes.

[@mikealex5584]

I bought a house using the USDA direct loan and I wonder If the interest rate go down can I still refinance my loan with USDA ?

[@Duds58]

Love the videos! Question, if I’m under the income threshold with my salary but receive a bonus every year that takes me over the limit, am I not eligible? Or do I just use the salary to qualify?

[@bayoumortgage]

Your bonus will be factored into whether you meet the income limit. The lender will be required to take either your current ytd pay divided monthly then x by 12. If that puts you over the limit then you will not qualify. I have a video coming out in about 30min the limits increased this year so you might be under now.

[@AddieMorris]

Can you buy a primary residence with a USDA loan and later buy a second property with a conventional loan while still paying on the USDA? Do they count other assets against you?

[@bayoumortgage]

If you purchased the first home with usda as a primary residence yes you could. You just need to live in the home for 12 months I believe

[@Molly-dg3bs]

Can you use this loan to build a house on land you already own? Or use the loan to buy land and put a manufactured home on it?

[@bayoumortgage]

You would need to use the USDA One Time Close Construction Loan for this. They can be hard to find

[@butubuta]

Thank you. What about if I leave my job and go to another state and apply for the USDA loan? My job qualification won't work anymore. Please answer my question. I don't get any video on this. I have a year and a half on my current job. I was a homestay mom before that.

[@bayoumortgage]

It will depend if the new job is in the same or a similar line of work. You will also need to be on that job and have received a minimum of 30 days worth of paychecks. Lenders look at 2 year work history that can come from a variety of jobs.

[@thegoodonez84]

However it was explained to me, that its possible to not have to wait .usda direct loan for low income. Very low income. What should I do now?

[@bayoumortgage]

I don't know much about the USDA direct program because lender can't offer it. I know it's very manual and susceptible to USDA discretion.

we are a family of 4 living in NC Raleigh. total annual income is less than 80k, will we qualify for this loan? can I buy a land and construct a house using this money? will they give it as a lump sum or in installments? can i buy an existing 20 yr old house which is in the town limits? thanks

Nothing inside the city limits. USDA has a map you can look at to see what areas are eligible in your area. USDA does have a construction loan but they are hard to find.

[@jamesgunn5358]

Is it taxable gross income or income in general?

[@bayoumortgage]

Income that isn't taxable cannot be used to qualify for a mortgage. However if you have regular deposits into your account they will likely be flagged and included in your income for USDA income limit purposes.

[@jamesgunn5358]

[@ladyofchange2386]

Why don't they allow the homebuyer to make income out of the property while Living there or can you?

[@bayoumortgage]

USDA does not allow the purchase of multi-family homes. Since the program is designed for rural borrowers looking to purchase a primary residence. FHA does allow you to purchase up to a 4- unit property as long as you reside in one of them for at least 12 months

[@ladyofchange2386]

[@bayoumortgage]

@@ladyofchange2386 I think you can sell some cookies. The rule is that the property itself cannot be currently in use in a way that generates income from the property. So like a farm, or it currently has an apartment or second building etc. What you do in the property is your business. And what you do with the property once financing is secured is also your business.

[@youfool8152]

Is this like FHA you can only get so much land or can I get like 20 acres if I go through this place with a house

[@cuppykakes28]

What if you’re self employed?

[@bayoumortgage]

The USDA Loan is available to self-employed individuals as well. The only thing that changes is how we calculate your income. You'll need two years of tax returns.

[@elizabethsierra4837]

What happens if you are approved for the loan and at the time you make a household income of less than 103K a year but down the line your income increases to 120k

[@bayoumortgage]

If it happens before your loan closes you no longer qualify. If it's after you've already closed on the loan no big deal.

[@Virgo_Victoria0830]

I work on a single income in the range of 52-56k, which is still under the income restriction for a USDA loan. My credit score is 748. Would I qualify for this? I am not able to come up with down payment money so am seriously looking into a USDA loan as I live pretty close to a rural area already.

[@anabhousen7159]

Just make sure you meet the income requirements, have a good credit score and a good credit history before you even apply. They will look for any little thing to deny you for this loan and from my experience the process is a nightmare.

I have an annual income of 28k from social security but excellent credit score. Will I qualify? I cant find anywhere that lists a minimum annual income.

[@bayoumortgage]

With that income, I would recommend looking into the USDA Direct program. You go directly thorough the USDA and it's for lower income clients. Here's a video I did on that one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5LHh4xshaxnp7s

[@JamieB-cn6wy]

Thanks. Thats actually the program I meant. Do you know if they have minimum income requirements?

[@dm4859]

If a retired couple, both on Social Security, apply, but wife has high debt-to-income ratio, husband has very low, and both get the nearly the same amount in Social Security, how is the wife's credit score figured into the application? It is perfect except for the ratio. We'd like house in husband's name anyway because of state's recovery program for medicaid. Wife is disabled after brain bleed.

[@bayoumortgage]

It will depend on if you are located in a community property state or not. You have 1 or two options. Apply together (community property states) or apply on your own. If you go solo you cannot use her income or anything in applying. I would also suggest if you are lower income that you check out usda direct which I also have a video on

What if i decide to put a downpayment on the USDA loan? will that work to get higher value house?

[@sergeyvechtomov8121]

And is there a time limit if decide to sell the house? or maybe rent the house and buy another home?

[@bayoumortgage]

You can’t put a down payment down on usda they don’t allow it. If you have a down payment probably better to go FHA which allows for a higher debt to income ratio. And you typically need to be there for 12 months before you can move

[@Haileysssssssss]

​@bayoumortgage Do you mind explaining how this is possible? There aren't any additional charges. Navy federal has the one lowest interest rates, so it isn't being paid there. It's only principal, interest, insurance, and taxes within the monthly payment (optional). You can simply put down 5% , so I'm confused on where it is coming from.
