Question by : Question about USDA loan? "Eligibility: Applicants for direct loans from HCFP must have very low or low incomes. Very low income is defined as below 50 percent of the area median income (AMI); low income is between 50 and 80 percent of AMI; moderate income is 80 to 100 percent of AMI. Click here to review area income limits for this program. Families must be without adequate housing, but be able to afford the mortgage payments, including taxes and insurance, which are typically 24 percent of an applicant's income. However, payment subsidy is available to applicants to enhance repayment ability. Applicants must be unable to obtain credit elsewhere, yet have reasonable credit histories." I am unsure about some of the criteria. I would meet the qualifications as far as being under the median area income and I have excellent credit. I also live in a somewhat rural area, so finding a home that qualifies based on that would not be difficult. "Families must be without adequate housing". Do you have to be homeless? What if I live in an apartment right now. What do they consider without adequate housing? "Applicants must be unable to obtain credit elsewhere." Do you have to actually apply for a mortgage and get denied? And prove you have been denied? I have talked to a lender within the past few months and did a preliminary "pre-qualification" for an FHA loan. I also have about $ 20k in savings. Is that a problem with USDA loan? I make O.K. money. I would be able to support the mortgage payments. I am a single mom, and for my area and family size it is below median income. The AMI in this area is about $ 106,100. The USDA loan was something I was just thinking about/looking into because with the 100% financing it would allow me to get a home sooner rather than later (I still need to save a bit more - about $ 10K - if I were to go the FHA route to feel like a have enough for down payment, closing costs, and still have a safety net for emergencies or repairs.)

Answer by linkus86
To be without adequate housing doesn't mean you need to be homeless, but merely that you do not own another house somewhere else. To not be able to obtain credit elsewhere, mean that you don't already have a home loan. Your savings could actually be a problem if seeking 100% financing. I am not exactly sure of the loan rules on this but often loan programs like this think it is OK to have a nest egg, just not one that is liquid (cash). Thus tying this money up in an investment of some sort may be to your advantage. I think the rule is to not have more than twice your mortgage payment liquid at the time of closing (you can break it loose afterwards). Of course you will have closing costs to deal with so you will need some of it even with 100% financing. USDA is a great program, but you also may want to look up another program that goes hand in hand with FHA if your income is below median. This program is available in almost every state and offers money for down payment and closing costs. Check your state housing department website under home buyers. Sometimes this program is hard to find, so if you need help email me with your state. Also loan officers rarely mention it because it limits how much money they can make and requires more paper work.
