USDA Home Loans are intended for families interested in purchasing single family, stick built homes. Investment properties, homes that are considered income producing properties, and mobile homes are not eligible for USDA financing. A USDA loan is a perfect loan for a home that is considered ‘move in ready’ and not in need of major repairs.
The other factor to determine eligibility would be the location of the home. USDA Home Loans are available to people who live in rural and suburban communities. Generally speaking, Rural Development defines a rural area as a city, or community of residence USDA has set household income limits that need to be checked to determine eligibility.
