USDA Rural Housing – We can Still Lend after Funds Run Out!
Rural Development which oversees the USDA rural housing loan program will run out of its 2010 funds by sometime in May 2010. Most lenders have stopped doing the program and have even given false information that the program is out of money. There is still funds available and lenders can still lend on this program. When the funds run out if RD will issue a conditional commitment then the lender has the option of lending the money and waiting on the guarantee when new funds are issued. This can only happen if RD gives a conditional commitment. RD was not going to issue conditional commitments after the funds ran out for this year until now!
When funds run out RD will not issue conditional commitments but the upfront guarantee fee will increase on this new commitments from 2% to 3.5% on purchase mortgages. So, yes you can still get a USDA loan and you will still be able to get one after the funs run out.
