USDA Mortgage Income Limits
In addition to the total annual income requirement, applicants must show proof of a steady income over at least 24 months. This means that borrowers must be able to demonstrate a consistent work history with pay stubs or tax returns. Additionally, those who are self-employed may have to provide additional documentation that shows proof of their business activities over the last two years.
First, a USDA loan can finance 100% of your home's equity. There is no downpayment!
You should also remember that the USDA loan is not available to purchase income-producing real estate. The property could still be eligible for the USDA loan if it has barns or silos, commercial greenhouses, livestock facilities, or other structures that are not used for commercial operation.
