Delaware USDA Rural Housing Loans – How much can you borrower?
February 26th, 2009 by John Thomas
Delaware USDA Rural Housing Loans can be used to purcahse a home and allow you to borrower up to 102% of the appraised value. This is a big different from Delaware conventional loans and other government loans. Every other loan bases the maximum amount you can borrower off the LOWER of the purchase price or appraised value. USDA Rural Development Loans will let you borrower up to 102% of the appraised value no matter what the purchase price. So lets say you are buying a house for $210,000 and it appraises for $220,000. You could borrower up to 102% of $220,000 which would be $224,440. Now you can’t get paid to buy a house so you can only borrower above the purchase price to cover your closing costs.
You can potentially buy a home with no out of pocket costs if you are buying the property below market value. This is the only way left to borrower to get a loan for 100% financing except for a Veterans Aministration Loan.
There are only two restricitons for a Delaware USDA Rural Housing Loan – Income and Geographical Restrictions. There are no loan limits for USDA Rural Housing Loans.
