USDA Loans have NO Loan Limits!

Yes, that is correct! Unlike FHA and Conventional loans which have published loan size limits, there is no maximum loan amount under the USDA Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program.

Many in the Real Estate community automatically assume that USDA loans are only available for smaller loan sizes, but that is simply not true.

Due to the fact that USDA loans do not have loan limits, it can be a great alternative to both Conventional and FHA programs, which both can have potentially larger monthly payments due to higher mortgage insurance costs.

While USDA loans do not have loan size restrictions, they do have healthy income limits based on family household sizes, which were recently increased for the majority of counties. USDA qualifying will be based on the buyer’s ability to repay the loan.

USDA loans can help open up additional property types such as homes located in subdivisions, gated communities, and townhomes, provided they are in a USDA eligible area.

In summary, the USDA loans program offers high flexibility due to the following:

• 100% financing
• Ability to finance closing costs
• More flexible credit guidelines than conventional loans
• And as discussed today – NO Loan Limits!

While many lenders may offer the USDA program, it is important to find out who has the
necessary experience to navigate the USDA loan approval process successfully.
