Not all lenders offer USDA loans. We work with 15 direct USDA lenders across our network. Each has different overlays on credit and income calculation.
Processing takes 30-45 days due to USDA's final underwriting layer. Rush closings don't work well with this program. Plan accordingly.
Eastvale sellers often hesitate on USDA offers due to longer timelines. A strong preapproval letter from a proven USDA lender helps overcome this bias.
The 1% guarantee fee gets financed into your loan. Your rate runs 0.125%-0.25% higher than conventional, but zero down offsets that cost for most buyers.
FHA requires 3.5% down and has lower income limits. VA requires military service but has no income cap. USDA splits the difference for civilians.
Conventional loans need 3%-5% down minimum. If you have the cash, conventional often costs less monthly due to lower rates and no guarantee fee.
Check USDA eligibility maps before falling in love with a property. Some newer Eastvale subdivisions sit outside eligible boundaries as the area urbanizes.
HOA dues don't disqualify you, but they count toward your debt ratio. High HOA communities can push your ratios above USDA's 41% back-end limit.
Yes, if the condo project appears on USDA's approved list and sits in an eligible area. Most Eastvale condos qualify but verify before writing an offer.
Nothing. USDA only checks income at origination. You can earn whatever you want after closing without affecting your loan.
No PMI, but you pay a 1% upfront guarantee fee and 0.35% annual fee. The annual fee drops off when your balance hits 80% loan-to-value.
Yes, up to 6% of the purchase price. This makes USDA truly zero out-of-pocket for many buyers when structured correctly.
Lender approval takes 2-3 weeks. USDA's final review adds another 1-2 weeks. Budget 45 days total from application to funding.
