New Guidelines for Rural Housing Loans



If you have been considering a Rural Housing Loan, which can mean 100% financing and other benefits if you purchase a home outside of a 3 mile radius of Bloomington City, there is good news in regard to qualifying income. This is from Lisa Sherfield of Bloomfield State Bank:


Hi, there has been a change effective today with the income limits for the guaranteed loan program. 1 – 4 family the income limit is $73,600.00 and 5 -8 income limit is $97,150.00. So a single person can now make up to $73,600.00 and still qualify for the loan program as there are only two income divisions.

If you have any questions please give me a call and I will help you in anyway that I can.


Thanks,

Lisa

And here's a bit more information from Nathan Finney of Premier Home Mortgage:


Please see below for a refresher on the highlights of USDA Rural Housing:
Provides 100% loan-to-value financing for existing homes based on appraised value.
No requirement to be a "first-time" home buyer.
No monthly mortgage insurance required.
One-time guarantee fee, payable to Rural Development (RD) at closing, which may be financed above the appraised value, as follows:
Purchases - 2.00% of loan amount
Fully amortized 30-year fixed-rate loans.
No penalty for pre-payment.
No maximum loan limit. Loan limits are dictated by the applicant's income with respect to program eligibility and loan repayment ability.
