USDA Rural Housing Mortgage Income Limits Increase 2022

USDA Rural Development recently increased the household income limits for the 502 Guaranteed Program. This is great news as this change will permit more families to qualify for the 100% Government-backed mortgage program.

The current USDA income limits are listed below,  these limits apply to most locations in the U.S.  However, more expensive high-cost locations allow even higher income limits.  Please see the income calculator link below.

Family Size 1-4 members:  $103,500
Family Size 5+ members: $136,600

The USDA Rural Housing program provides mortgages to home buyers in eligible rural areas with no down payment needed.  Many popular locations are still eligible and are actually considered “rural”  Buyers shouldn’t assume their area is not eligible before checking the USDA map below.

USDA loans are designed to provide competitive financing to individuals and families who want safe, sanitary, and modest accommodations. These loans are originated by approved USDA lenders and backed by the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development.

Single-Family Housing  (502 Guaranteed Loan)

Single-Family Housing 502 Guaranteed loan program allows moderate-income individuals and families to own a decent dwelling as their home. This program is ideal for households that don’t have 3, 5 or 10% down payment often required by conventional mortgages.
