When searching for eligible USDA properties, what homes qualify for a USDA loan? When you hear about USDA Home loan benefits such 100% financing or the ability to finance closing costs, it can be easy to focus on the financial advantages and then forget about what type of home can be eligible for a USDA loan A key step is to first understand what type of house qualifies for a USDA loan and then also be aware of what properties are considered ineligible for USDA financing. First off, remember that the USDA Rural Home Loan Program does NOT have set loan limits like FHA or Conventional loans. While many may automatically assume that higher priced homes would not qualify, homes that are in subdivisions, gated communities, and even townhomes could all be considered a type of house that qualifies for a USDA loan pending they are in a USDA eligible area. Although many traditionally view single family residences as a type of house that qualifies for a USDA loan, units in a condominium project are eligible for the USDA guaranteed program if the condominium has been approved or accepted by FHA (HUD), VA, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. USDA eligibility for condominiums can be on a case by case basis, so contact my team for assistance on your next condo scenario. As of December 1st 2014 USDA guidelines changed and homes with in-ground pools are now completely eligible!
