USDA Loan Program offers up to 102% financing for Select Rural Areas in Central TX

For prospective buyers of select rural communities in Central Texas, there is a new loan program being offered by USDA.  Some details of the USDA Loan Program are as follows:

  • All closing costs & prepaids can be added to the loan, up to appraised value
  • No Private Mortgage Insurance (No PMI)
  • Loans can exceed appraised value by the 2% USDA Guarantee Fee
  • No upper loan limit – loan amount offered based on Ability-To-Pay
  • For owner-occupied borrowers only
  • Program counts all household income to determine eligibility (even household members not on the loan)
  • Subject property has to be in USDA “Rural Development” area
  • Minimum credit score of 580
  • Full Doc Loans and 30-year fixed rates only

This is a unique opportunity for select buyers on select homes in areas such as ShadowGlen in Manor TX & other rural communites in Central Texas. Contact me and I can put you in touch with a lender who sponsors this program.

The USDA program is a great thing for anyone who qualifies, 102% Loan to Value and no PMI.  Most of Hays county also qualifies.

I closed one of these USDA homes in Kyle last week.  I recommend them!  My people actually walked away from the table with cash.

120%? That is way too big. USDA makes the right decision. I am sure it is going to help a lot to all account users. I am looking forward for more update about USDA. Thank you for your updates. I am going to visit this blog more often.
