Thank you! Im disabled, low income and live in a qualifying area. My issue is that i own a house that should be condemned, so i only qualify for the $40000 loan. Im not 62 yet so i dont qualify for the $10000 grant. $40000 wont even come close to repairing my existing home. I've contacted an approved lender for advice.
If you are living in a home you obtained through a USDA loan, can you buy another home about 5 years down the road using a conventional loan? Or will that cause a problem with the USDA loan?
Is there any USDA rural loan where you can buy a primary residence that you also work from ( home office, shop situation ). I have researched and can’t but was told by a farmer that is how they bought their income producing farm… Thanks!! Great video
So much about income limits. With a good credit score, no debts, but only SS income, I´ve been told by local agent that my income is insufficient for any USDA loan. I am in a conundrum of needing safe housing (elderly, disabled) yet stuck in place.
I feel for you and know that must be frustrating. I would highly recommend looking into the USDA Direct program at your local USDA office. They make loans for people with very low incomes at much better rates than any lender could ever offer. The process is slower than what we can do but versus no options at all I think it's better. USDA Guaranteed Limits your housing payment to 29% of gross income so with SSI it would be tough. Direct is the way to go in this situation. Hope this helps!
@@bayoumortgage thanks for replying....that is precisely what I did...applied for direct loan. No go. income not sufficient. So when I read ¨very low income¨ it appears that I am in low, low low scale.
I don't understand, " easy access from a paved or weathered road." Can I enter the property from a gravel road onto a gravel or dort road that sometimes gets puddles? Will I have time before the appraisal to cut some trees and limbs if the owner approves? What conditions of th house will mot be approved? Are there any videos of inspection that I can you tube?
My wife and I are pulling up stakes and moving out of Commiefornia, and moving soon to Idaho. This loan opportunity is really going to help because we initially want to find a home outside the city limits, in a more rural area, we fell in love with Idaho Falls, and the surrounding area. Thanks for the video, it really has inspired us.
Can you buy a primary residence with a USDA loan and later buy a second property with a conventional loan while still paying on the USDA? Do they count other assets against you?

Thank you. What about if I leave my job and go to another state and apply for the USDA loan? My job qualification won't work anymore. Please answer my question. I don't get any video on this. I have a year and a half on my current job. I was a homestay mom before that.
It will depend if the new job is in the same or a similar line of work. You will also need to be on that job and have received a minimum of 30 days worth of paychecks. Lenders look at 2 year work history that can come from a variety of jobs.
Income that isn't taxable cannot be used to qualify for a mortgage. However if you have regular deposits into your account they will likely be flagged and included in your income for USDA income limit purposes.
@@bayoumortgage what I mean is money that goes to 401k and other benefits isn’t taxed. So if you look at my w2 from last year my taxable income shown is about 12k less than if you added up my total gross on each paycheck prior to benefits. So which do they use?
@@jamesgunn5358 For USDA's income limit that will view current YTD paystubs and divde out to a monthly number before deductions so your true gross income. If you flip into next year your gross income from your w2 will be used. Same for qualifying as well
USDA does not allow the purchase of multi-family homes. Since the program is designed for rural borrowers looking to purchase a primary residence. FHA does allow you to purchase up to a 4- unit property as long as you reside in one of them for at least 12 months

@@ladyofchange2386 I think you can sell some cookies. The rule is that the property itself cannot be currently in use in a way that generates income from the property.

I was planning on getting my usda direct loan for very low income. I cleared up my credit report (4 credit cards) In 1 week and now I was told I have to wait another year. However it was explained to me, that its possible to not have to wait .usda direct loan for low income. Very low income. What should I do now?
@@bayoumortgage - I finally got approved for a Direct Loan and they said mobile homes they only accept brand new while the regular homes could be used or new. And yesterday I just put my first offer on 1 mobile hopefully it’s being accepted. Don’t know yet
Love the videos! Question, if I’m under the income threshold with my salary but receive a bonus every year that takes me over the limit, am I not eligible? Or do I just use the salary to qualify?
Your bonus will be factored into whether you meet the income limit. The lender will be required to take either your current ytd pay divided monthly then x by 12. If that puts you over the limit then you will not qualify. I have a video coming out in about 30min the limits increased this year so you might be under now.
The USDA Loan is available to self-employed individuals as well. The only thing that changes is how we calculate your income. You'll need two years of tax returns.
we are a family of 4 living in NC Raleigh. total annual income is less than 80k, will we qualify for this loan? can I buy a land and construct a house using this money? will they give it as a lump sum or in installments? can i buy an existing 20 yr old house which is in the town limits? thanks
Nothing inside the city limits. USDA has a map you can look at to see what areas are eligible in your area. USDA does have a construction loan but they are hard to find.
Are located in Kendall County? You can view the income limits directly from USDA here www.rd.usda.gov/sites/default/files/rd-grhlimitmap.pdf. A family of 4 would have an income limit of $103500 UNLESS you are in one of the few areas with a higher limit. Austin is $126850, DFW is 112000, and Midland is $122,500. Kendall County is $129400.
What happens if you are approved for the loan and at the time you make a household income of less than 103K a year but down the line your income increases to 120k
You can’t put a down payment down on usda they don’t allow it. If you have a down payment probably better to go FHA which allows for a higher debt to income ratio. And you typically need to be there for 12 months before you can move
Can you apply for a USDA while still having a regular mortgage. (I bought a house with my brother and looking to love out but don’t want him to sell the house or refinance it)
would like to buy a rural home with a few acres- any issues with this idea did the prequalification - i have a major issue that I would like to discuss privately. Is there a separate email I can use thanks Joe
I work on a single income in the range of 52-56k, which is still under the income restriction for a USDA loan. My credit score is 748. Would I qualify for this? I am not able to come up with down payment money so am seriously looking into a USDA loan as I live pretty close to a rural area already.
@bayoumortgage Do you mind explaining how this is possible? There aren't any additional charges. Navy federal has the one lowest interest rates, so it isn't being paid there. It's only principal, interest, insurance, and taxes within the monthly payment (optional). You can simply put down 5% , so I'm confused on where it is coming from.
@@flippedoutmom if it’s after you have already closed the deal then doesn’t matter but if your income goes up before the close then you no longer qualify hope that helps
If you do not live near a rural area, and would need to change jobs to relocate into an area that's eligible for a RD loan, would they honor your 2+ years of continuous employment at your current employer before you relocate to the new area you are buying your house in?
I have an annual income of 28k from social security but excellent credit score. Will I qualify? I cant find anywhere that lists a minimum annual income.
With that income, I would recommend looking into the USDA Direct program. You go directly thorough the USDA and it's for lower income clients. Here's a video I did on that one. ruclips.net/video/5adVY6PG4qY/видео.html
If a retired couple, both on Social Security, apply, but wife has high debt-to-income ratio, husband has very low, and both get the nearly the same amount in Social Security, how is the wife's credit score figured into the application? It is perfect except for the ratio. We'd like house in husband's name anyway because of state's recovery program for medicaid. Wife is disabled after brain bleed.
It will depend on if you are located in a community property state or not. You have 1 or two options. Apply together (community property states) or apply on your own. If you go solo you cannot use her income or anything in applying. I would also suggest if you are lower income that you check out usda direct which I also have a video on
Just make sure you meet the income requirements, have a good credit score and a good credit history before you even apply. They will look for any little thing to deny you for this loan and from my experience the process is a nightmare.
This is my situation it’s just two of us with my only Income last year was 43k this year 34k, I’m in the outskirts of (Los Angeles lowest house in qualifying areas is 400k ) But I have somewhat of a good Down or backup money I have good credit not much debt .. would i qualify?
The rule is that if you can pay 20% down of the purchase price from your checking or savings account plus cover closing costs you are ineligible for the program.

Thank for the great content Channing. How do they determine the Monthly Mortgage payments?
Your mortgage payment is determine by your loan amount, interest rate, cost of Insurance and Taxes.
Can you rent out part of a house with a USDA loan? For example, could you buy a house with a USDA loan and rent out the basement?
Once you have the loan on the home, you can do whatever you want with it as long as it remains your primary residence for a min of 12 months.
