The USDA Home Loan Program is one of the best programs at the moment for home buyers in NC. It has extremely low costs (especially when you compare it to the FHA PMI rates), and the USDA Home Loan has very low closing costs. The program requires that you purchase a home located within the USDA Home Loan “footprint.” In NC that “footprint” is changing pretty significantly this fall. Because of that below you can view USDA Map Changes for NC due 10-1-13.

In the Coastal parts of NC, there are areas around Wilmington that are losing the program, including Leland. The areas near New Bern are pretty well staying the same. There area ares near Greenville NC that will be ineligible because of the Map Changes.  Kinston is also going see neighborhoods and sections of town that will no longer be eligible for USDA Home Loans as part of the program.

There area three basic UDSA Home Loan requirements for getting a Home Loan in NC.

  • The home must be located within the USDA Home Loan footprint (obviously, these boundaries could be changing in NC based on a new definition of “rural” mandated by Congress).
  • Each borrower needs at least 2 credit scores of at least 640.  There are exceptions, and if you qualify for a NC Housing Finance Agency loan, you might qualify with scores as low as 620.  In general, the underwriters for USDA Home Loans in NC are looking for 12 months of Clean Credit.
  • You must be under the Maximum Income Requirements for the County you are purchasing a home in to qualify for this No Money Down Home Loan Program.
