What are Three Facts Every Seller Should Know for USDA Loans in Florida, Texas, Tennessee, or Alabama?
1. USDA loans do NOT have a maximum sales price.
While many may automatically assume that higher sale prices do not qualify for a USDA loan, this is simply not true, because the maximum USDA loan amount is based on the buyer’s qualifying ability, not a set loan limit like FHA or Conventional.
2. There are NO loan related costs that a seller must pay on a USDA loan.
While these types of charges are often referred to as “non-allowable” costs, remember that there are no required costs that a seller must pay on a USDA loan. The only costs that a seller must pay are for those agreed upon within the sales contract.
3. USDA loans ALLOW for in-ground swimming pools!
Even though many have bad memories from previous restrictions, USDA guidelines under the Single-Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program permit in-ground swimming pool properties.
