I hope you can internalize and know how much you have helped me and so many others. For years I prayed for good business and for people who work to help others. You have helped so many with all the vital information. Thank your clear delivery, pertinent information and expertise.
I realize direct sounds kinda horrible with all of the restrictions, lol, but I don't think I heard you mention the payment assistance/subsidy only available through direct (I may have missed it?). It can essentially lower your interest rate to as low as 1%, lowering your monthly mortgage payment. For instance, using their income and subsidy calculator with our information, a monthly note payment that would normally be $1,525 would be reduced to $1,070.37. This helped us decide to go with direct vs guaranteed, since as long as we can deal with all of the headaches we can lower our monthly payments by hundreds of dollars per month (the above example is $453/month). Pretty awesome!
I just did my usda loan on 200k home,and miss insurance is only 50 to 60 dollar a month of my payment and rest of the 940 dollars is priciple,home owners and taxes. Today's prices that's comparable to a 2/3 size of my dwelling comparable rental. Win win situation with the home purchase and isda approach.i ended up only spending a total of 550 appraisal,280 inspection ,250 on goodwill money down and then 256 dollars at closing as I asked seller to pay all closing ups to 4.5% of sell value
@@cobrahatch how much do you make per year? my wife makes 120k and were at the upper limit of our area, but houses cost 400k+ around us for old ones in WA so were honestly looking into doing a construction loan and purchasing land near developed housing area for our utilities. low income here is 127k for a family of 4 which is insane because when you look at the 400k houses around here (it'd be a mansion in say TN) but here its a 1900s house falling apart lol. I'm just wondering if we can get approved for a 400k house on 120k income
This video was sooo so helpful! I applied directly to my USDA Rural Department office (or what we it’s called lol) And I’m waiting to hear back today. It’s been 4 days since I’ve applied for a usda loan. My credit isn’t high enough for traditional lending options, and I don’t have enough for a down payment so someone told me about USDA loans so I did a bunch of research online and found out how and where to apply. :-) I’m hoping I can be approved, but I’m thinking my route is the Direct USDA loan. That worries me because of how long they take to do everything, and houses here are selling after being on the market for less than a week. The longest they are listed is about 2 months. So I feel like I’m gonna have a hard time finding a house and then to be approved because I don’t know if sellers will be willing to wait that long. So we shall see!
@@unionizetechtempe379 I applied, couldn’t find a house in my budget in the area and they said it would take however long. So that route didn’t work for me. However I did buy a home! Well a trailor through different financing.

@@danielleteat5009 at the moment, Usda aren’t approving construction loans by Usda. I know neighbors bank isn’t. Every lender is different though. Just find a bank/lender and ask before applying
The least I can do is offer you sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your help really came in handy for me at the time, when I desperately to buy me a house. Thank you once again Alexander liam hacks and I know that this sincere help of yours will not be forgotten soon
Thank you for providing this information. In a previous session, you stated that you would provide information on the banks that can process the USDA loans. Can you post that info for banks in Tampa FL please and thank you.
It’s hard to say because the routes are for different buyers. Unless you fall into the very low income bracket for your area, direct will not be an option
Thanks for providing so much helpful info I was needing! I have a question. I'm separated from my husband and trying to buy MY own home. He sends me money for our kids (not court ordered) so I have incoming funds in my bank showing that.. will the lenders require him to show his income? I saw the direct loan wanted to report all incoming money and its source. I'm wondering are both direct and guaranteed is that way because he's not going to provide his income information.
Hey Gigi! There are a few things I need to know in order to help answer your questions! Can you send me an email and we can discuss it more? NicoleNarkRealtor@gmail .com 😀
@@NicoleNark Hi Miss Nark, if I am doing a usda guaranteed loan will my interest rate be high? And will i still have to pay a pmi? Also with the current market, can I ask the seller to cover some of the closing cost? Or should I put the 3-4% of the listing price (closing cost) down myself? I have not been pre-approved yet but I will like a home around the $250,000 to $315,000.
I stumbled on you and I actually live in central Arkansas too! I am applying for the direct loan but am afraid my sole income may be too high, can you recommend any USDA-guaranteed banks in the area in case I get denied? Thanks Nicole!
Thank you for an informative video! If you get a house via the USDA loan and decide to move to a different county, do you have to sell the home? Or an you keep the home?

Hi, I had a question. If I'm trying to get a first time home buyers usda loan (either guaranteed or direct) and I plan on making that my residential place of living but also I'm going to make that address my BUSINESS address for my great pyrenees dog kennel.. Would that go against the rule of the usda loan of making "profit from the property"? Or is this legal? Would I need a different type of loan because my address of business would be the same as the address I'm getting my loan from? If that makes since..
From my understanding, yes this would go against the rules. The USDA loans are pretty strict about the property just being a residence and not also a business.
The lot/land needs to be considered “normal for the area”. You can homestead but it is important to note that you would not be able to have an income generating business on the property.
Great information, thanks! I reached out to you once before and you were very helpful. I'm ready to apply for a USDA loan but can you recommend or do you know of one or two lenders that will lend to those with a credit score of 620-639?
You can apply directly through USDA website, bank/credit union, local realtor (who will put you in touch with mortgage broker, I'm doing it this way as moving to another state. Uploading paperwork via app)
We inherited land and are undecided about building or buying a manufactured home, how to we contact USDA directly and would we have to go USDA direct instead of guaranteed
Have you ever helped an individual/family obtain land & construction loan to build home? Is that even a thing, if so please help. I feel like I have called every lender to help my family and I obtain land and build our dream home to no avail.
The direct program does not replace its employees, they are way under staffed. The lenders who process the guaranteed loans have more employees per lender per area than the average direct program has employees to process loans for their entire state. The entire state of Indiana has only 12 employees that touch direct loan processing. I Initial inquiry to closing. Fact! That is why they are "slow and unorganized".

Hi Nicole, do the USDA Guarantee Loans allow for a co-signor just for the income part of the equation? My credit is good, 700. My dad will sign for me, but he alone makes more than that 90k. Just wondering will that be a deal-breaker? I am in the Little Rock area too, but looking at an area in Saline County that says it qualifies!
They are 1 year behind where I am. I lost my chance for down payment assistance because it’s so long. I’m doing the direct loan. I have 6 people in my household. 1 adult 5 chren. I own a 20 acre property. Can I move a manufactured home to my existing property big enough for all of us with this loan? Or am I wasting my time?
Wow I am sorry you have had such a long wait time! What is it exactly that you are trying to do? Are you wanting to use the loan to move the mobile home or buy something else?
@@NicoleNark I’m waiting for the application to be processed. I don’t even know if I’m approved yet. I’m trying to move a manufactured home onto the property I bought. It’s in the middle of nowhere but it’s 20 acres.
@@MsCelestialSecrets I don't remember if it was a youtube video or website but I think depending on state you may be going against the rules to place a manufactured home on the property that you used a usda loan with.

@narkhomes . Can I use my Housing Voucher in combination with USDA mortgage loan? This will allow my HUD Housing Voucher to continue to help towards payments for up to 30 years or qualified out of program. Once in home only income requirements continue and I would still be able to qualify for improvement grants for house due to initial necessary repairs.
As long as the provider of your voucher has a homeownership program, ABSOLUTELY! Additionally, the Housing Choice Voucher will add to your repayment ability! I will say, however. I work for a Housing Autho. To my knowledge, it will cover for 15 years, unless the recipient becomes verifiable disabled. At that point it will be for the life of the loan.
Hi Nicole! This will probably be a long comment so sorry in advance! I'm a first time home buyer and I'm working on getting a USDA (guaranteed) loan, I'm still contacting lenders in my area for different rates and such. I've used the different calculators online and realized if I do get approved for a loan of average home price I still wouldn't be able to afford monthly payments. Average price in my area is around $530k, with occasional homes in the $450k range. I can afford no more than $1.5k a month but most if not all homes would probably require over $2k a month. I know I more than likely won't qualify for a loan any more than $300k. First question - is it possible to use a down payment assistance program (preferably a grant) along with the USDA loan? I can't put my own money into a down payment but I know that any down payment would bring the monthly payment down at least a bit, depending on how much. Second question - if I'm not able to use any assistance on down payment or if I still wouldn't be able to afford the average home, would purchasing a foreclosure be a good or bad idea? I know of some homes here that have been sold for between $100k-$300k which is what my budget will probably be. I'm aware of some of the risks that come along with foreclosures; being sold as is, missing appliances, rundown home, etc. but I'm more worried about the risks financially. But if I was to strike gold and come across a foreclosed home less than $300k, that's in nice and live-able condition with little to no work needed, should I jump on that opportunity? From doing my own research it seems/feels like in my area the only way I would be able to purchase a home is if it's a foreclosure since they generally sell for less. But even still, I know finding one might be difficult. If I do qualify for a loan of any amount I would of course be getting into contact with a realtor here to discuss these concerns but I would love to know your thoughts. Thank you so much and again I'm so sorry for such a long comment!
Here are some answers! I will do my very best to help you out. 😊 The USDA loan is already a form of down payment assistance and you can not combine it with other down payment assistance programs. The USDA loans already try to keep monthly payments as low as possible to help buyers with affordability. Your other option would be to look at some down payment assistance programs that you could use with something like an FHA loan. Usually those forgivable grants that you mentioned are restricted to the very low and low income earners. So you would have to see if you are in the income bracket to even look at that option. When it comes to buying a foreclosure of course there are risks. The main issue that you could run into comes with appraisals. No matter what loan type you use, your lender will send out an appraiser. Every loan type has requirements that the home must meet for the appraiser. (All utilities turned on, basic kitchen appliances installed, safe to live in, etc) Most foreclosures will not meet these requirements and if the house does not meet them you will not be able to buy it with the loan. Your best bet would be talking with a local Realtor and lender in your area! Ideally they will be able to help you make buying a reality this year or you may need to wait a bit longer and save up your own funds for a down payment to make the monthly cost more affordable! Hope that helps a bit!
Hi Nicole great info. If the applicant has a disabled spouse and a disabled adult child are the disability incomes of them counted in the total income for the household. Thank you
I felt with the USDA and the Supervisor TOLD ME that I HAD to be MALE AND RUN BULLS for three years !! SHE said that she WOULD NOT given me a loan to start a farm, even with knowledge and experience, because running FEMALE SHEEP was NOT what they wanted to find ! And, BECAUSE I WAS FEMALE. !! I HAVE A WITNESS TO THIS DISCRIMINATION !! Even after telling a Congressmen about this, he told me that Congress was VERY AWARE of the FEMALE DISCRIMINATION OF THE USDA AGAINST WOMEN REGARDING GIVING THEM A FARM OR ANY LOAN !!

Once in home only income requirements continue and I would still be able to qualify for improvement grants for house due to initial necessary repairs.
As long as the provider of your voucher has a homeownership program, ABSOLUTELY! Additionally, the Housing Choice Voucher will add to your repayment ability!
I will say, however. I work for a Housing Autho. To my knowledge, it will cover for 15 years, unless the recipient becomes verifiable disabled. At that point it will be for the life of the loan.

Thank you for responding! Yes I am disabled! Awesome!
I do not know if this will work for the 502 Guaranteed, but it does for sure for the Direct. I should have specified that in my original comment.
For the guarantee USDA loan you said 640 for the credit do you know by chance which credit are they pulling like Experian, Equifax, etc
They pull from all three, and use the middle score for approval and other things. For example, if I had a 720, 737, and a 750, they would use the 737.

Hi Nicole !

@@NicoleNark Thanks for getting back to me so quick! Yes it’s for Tulare County
The USDA office in Rola said I have to qualify through them. So I am screwed honey
Thanks!
Are you a real estate agent?
Hi Nicole! This will probably be a long comment so sorry in advance! I'm a first time home buyer and I'm working on getting a USDA (guaranteed) loan, I'm still contacting lenders in my area for different rates and such. I've used the different calculators online and realized if I do get approved for a loan of average home price I still wouldn't be able to afford monthly payments. Average price in my area is around $530k, with occasional homes in the $450k range. I can afford no more than $1.5k a month but most if not all homes would probably require over $2k a month. I know I more than likely won't qualify for a loan any more than $300k.
First question - is it possible to use a down payment assistance program (preferably a grant) along with the USDA loan? I can't put my own money into a down payment but I know that any down payment would bring the monthly payment down at least a bit, depending on how much.
Second question - if I'm not able to use any assistance on down payment or if I still wouldn't be able to afford the average home, would purchasing a foreclosure be a good or bad idea? I know of some homes here that have been sold for between $100k-$300k which is what my budget will probably be. I'm aware of some of the risks that come along with foreclosures; being sold as is, missing appliances, rundown home, etc. but I'm more worried about the risks financially. But if I was to strike gold and come across a foreclosed home less than $300k, that's in nice and live-able condition with little to no work needed, should I jump on that opportunity?
From doing my own research it seems/feels like in my area the only way I would be able to purchase a home is if it's a foreclosure since they generally sell for less. But even still, I know finding one might be difficult. If I do qualify for a loan of any amount I would of course be getting into contact with a realtor here to discuss these concerns but I would love to know your thoughts. Thank you so much and again I'm so sorry for such a long comment!
Here are some answers! I will do my very best to help you out. 😊 The USDA loan is already a form of down payment assistance and you can not combine it with other down payment assistance programs. The USDA loans already try to keep monthly payments as low as possible to help buyers with affordability. Your other option would be to look at some down payment assistance programs that you could use with something like an FHA loan. Usually those forgivable grants that you mentioned are restricted to the very low and low income earners. So you would have to see if you are in the income bracket to even look at that option. When it comes to buying a foreclosure of course there are risks. The main issue that you could run into comes with appraisals. No matter what loan type you use, your lender will send out an appraiser. Every loan type has requirements that the home must meet for the appraiser. (All utilities turned on, basic kitchen appliances installed, safe to live in, etc) Most foreclosures will not meet these requirements and if the house does not meet them you will not be able to buy it with the loan. Your best bet would be talking with a local Realtor and lender in your area! Ideally they will be able to help you make buying a reality this year or you may need to wait a bit longer and save up your own funds for a down payment to make the monthly cost more affordable! Hope that helps a bit!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate it ☺️
I don't have a family do I still deserve a loan
I can't get these loans because I make too much money.
Do u have to have children to be approved ?
Nope!
You are AWESOME!!!
Thank you! You are awesome for watching!
@@NicoleNark And you are Pretty as well!😊
@@biz4smitty Thanks!
Hi Nicole great info. If the applicant has a disabled spouse and a disabled adult child are the disability incomes of them counted in the total income for the household. Thank you
Yes that is correct! Their incomes would be counted
Does all the ssd income for everyone determine the loan amount or is it just for the income limit purposes to qualify ? Thanks
Is it possible to do the OTC construction loan through USDA guAranteed or does it HAVE to be direct?
Technically they do advertise a guaranteed program however, I have yet to find a lender that offers it!
I felt with the USDA and the Supervisor TOLD ME that I HAD to be MALE AND RUN BULLS for three years !! SHE said that she WOULD NOT given me a loan to start a farm, even with knowledge and experience, because running FEMALE SHEEP was NOT what they wanted to find ! And, BECAUSE I WAS FEMALE. !! I HAVE A WITNESS TO THIS DISCRIMINATION !! Even after telling a Congressmen about this, he told me that Congress was VERY AWARE of the FEMALE DISCRIMINATION OF THE USDA AGAINST WOMEN REGARDING GIVING THEM A FARM OR ANY LOAN !!
