USDA Rural Home Loan Requirements

If you’re an individual looking to purchase land in a rural area, a USDA rural home loan is an option you should consider to help you with this process. The United States Department of Agriculture wants to help rural communities survive and thrive by offering programs through their Rural Development Office to provide assistance to families and individuals in purchasing homes in rural areas.

 

In order to qualify for a USDA rural home loan, the property must be located in an area with a population less than 20,000 and cannot be in a town situated close to a large metropolitan area. These rural home loans are granted based on income and while the income requirements vary by geographic area, they are based on 115% of the median income as defined by the office of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

 

Whether you want to live as far north as Minnesota, as far south as Texas, or on either coast in states like California or North Carolina, as long as the property you’re considering meets the guidelines mentioned above and is located in the United States, the Farm Loan center can guide you in finding a loan to help you buy it.
