Possible extension for rural housing program

May 3rd, 2010

Written by Frost Mortgage

The Rural Housing Service’s single-family program (subscription required) is almost out of loan guarantee authority, but a bill passed by the House and potentially being taken up by the Senate this week would extend it to Sept. 30, giving it time to become self-funding by raising its fee to 4 percent (it is currently 2 percent). The Agriculture Department-managed program has been extremely popular.

U.S.Department of Agriculture (USDA) loans are one of our specialties, and we’ll be watching these developments closely. Please click today to find a friendly, helpful loan officer in your area.
