USDA Eligibility Metrics

USDA loans carry strict double-layer checkpoints: the property must fit geographic guidelines, and household earnings must remain under regional caps.

The property must be located within a USDA-designated rural zone. Major metro cities are excluded, but outer communities qualify.

Household Income

Total household earnings cannot exceed 115% of the local median income. Deductions apply for dependents.

FICO Guideline

A score of 640 unlocks streamlined automated processing, though manual underwriting down to 600 is possible with clean credit histories.

Must serve strictly as your primary residence. Investment properties or vacation homes are ineligible.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the USDA loan have monthly mortgage insurance?

Yes. It carries a small upfront guarantee fee (which can be financed into the loan) along with a low monthly annual fee that stays for the life of the loan structure.

You can purchase a home in any USDA-eligible area. In Colorado, this includes many plains, rural, and mountain towns outside major metropolitan regions.
