loans: USDA Boundaries Not Changing! - 01/17/14 08:13 AM
Great news for all buyers who are interested in getting a USDA home loan - We received word this week that the long awaited boundary adjustments have been put on hold again.  As of right now, it sounds like the current boundaries will remain in place until at least September of 2014.

The rumors are already swirling that USDA could be running out of money to fund loans in the near future.  I received the following e-mail this morning:
"Loan Officers,
This message is to notify you that program funding for the single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program will likely be exhausted by the end of April, 2010.
Once funding is exhausted, the Agency will not issue Conditional commitments "subject to receipt of appropriated funds."  This is because it is not certain when additional funding will be available.
Limited Funding may become available for disaster … (0 comments)
