USDA Loan Tools
Property Eligibility Map
USDA loans can only be used when the house is in a USDA approved area. If you don’t have the address of the home yet then you can just pick an address in the area where you are looking and enter the complete address into the USDA property eligibility site. It will let you know if the property is in a eligible USDA area.
SELECTIncome Eligibility
USDA requires that all household income from adults over the age of 18 is used in the income calculations. The strict Debt to Income levels that USDA requires can make it a little confusing. ReNew will do the income calculations for you. If you would like to check yourself you can use the USDA website by clicking the Check Income Eligibility button.
SELECTIncome Limit Map
This map will show you what the income limits are in your area. USDA sets income limits by county. Just add up all of the net income made by anyone over the age of 18 that will be living in the home and you will have your total household income that USDA uses. Your total household income needs to be below the USDA County Income limit to qualify.
