How do I check if a property qualifies?

Use the USDA Property Eligibility map at eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov. Enter the full street address — eligibility is parcel-specific, not city-wide.

What's the income limit for my area?

USDA publishes guaranteed-loan income limits by county and household size. The limit increases with household size and varies by region. Your loan officer can pull the exact figure for your county.

Is there really no down payment?

Yes — USDA Guaranteed loans allow 100% financing. You'll still need to cover closing costs (which the seller can contribute toward up to 6%) and any earnest money.

What's the difference between USDA Guaranteed and USDA Direct?

Guaranteed loans are made by approved private lenders and backed by USDA — this is the program most borrowers use. Direct loans are funded by USDA itself and target low- and very-low-income borrowers with subsidized rates and longer terms.

Are condos and manufactured homes allowed?

USDA allows certain condos and new manufactured homes that meet specific HUD standards, but the property must still be in an eligible area and meet USDA's property requirements. Existing manufactured homes generally are not eligible under the standard Guaranteed program.

What credit score do I need?

640+ FICO is the threshold for streamlined automated underwriting on the Guaranteed program. Borrowers below 640 may still qualify through manual underwriting if the rest of the file is strong.

How long does USDA take to close?

USDA Guaranteed loans typically close in roughly the same timeframe as conventional or FHA, with the addition of a USDA conditional commitment step after the lender's underwriting approval. Plan for 30–45 days from contract to close.
