  1. BUY WITH USDA FINANCING

  2. Why USDA? • No Maximum Loan Amount • Low Upfront Guarantee Fee 1% • Low Annual Guarantee Fee .35% • Purchase/Rate and Term • Streamline Refi – no appraisal – no debt ratio • SFR, Condos, PUD – no units • No FTHB requirements

  3. USDA LENDING • 640 FICO (620 exception case by case manual underwrite 29/41%) • No gifts for reserves • MCC’S can be used to reduce PITI • Requires GUS AUS approval • Cash out not allowed • Income Limits apply • Owner Occupied – no non-occupant co-buyers • Property must be located in rural designated area – no working farms • Guest in-law permitted as long as it isn’t considered a 2 unit per zoning or use • Pools okay • Manufactured Homes okay only if you have a current USDA

  4. Things to know • 29/41 ratios are ‘standard’.  We have seen GUS approve ratios as high as about 34/46 with good credit AND 1-3 month’s reserves.  However if there are ANY debts that are not on the credit report, the file has to be manually downgraded and must have 29/41 ratios Max. • Assets are a little different. The Underwriter has to calculate and use a 60 day average balance from bank statements. Also on 401K’s, IRA’s etc., we can use 60% of the vested interest for reserves, HOWEVER don’t have them take money out for reserve purposes, once removed from the 401K/IRA it can no longer be used for reserves AND has to be backed out of the 60 day average balance calculation.  Lastly gifts are NOT allowed to be used for reserves, but can be used for closing costs. • The only special form to be obtained by processing is the 3555-21 form. It needs to be accurate and complete for us to run the GUS accurately. • USDA requires a property to be in a more rural area. So the first thing to always do when prequalifying a deal is to check that. • If borrowers have enough assets to qualify for an 80% loan, they will be rejected.
