Frequently Asked Questions

What are the specific property condition requirements for USDA loans?

The property must meet minimum standards for safety, soundness, and sanitation as determined by a USDA-approved appraisal. The home must be structurally sound, have adequate heating, plumbing, and electrical systems, and be free of health and safety hazards. Your lender and appraiser will identify any issues during the process.

What are the Oklahoma income limits for USDA loan eligibility?

USDA loans have household income limits that vary by county and household size. These limits are set by the USDA and updated annually. Your Brooks Bank mortgage lender can look up the current limits for your county and determine if your household qualifies.

Which areas in Oklahoma are eligible for USDA home loans?

USDA eligibility is based on property location, not the borrower's location. Many areas in central and southwest Oklahoma qualify, including communities near Chickasha, Blanchard, Newcastle, Tuttle, Minco, and other towns in our service area. Your Brooks Bank mortgage lender can check eligibility for a specific property address.

How much is the USDA guarantee fee and can it be financed?

USDA loans include an upfront guarantee fee and an annual fee. The upfront fee can typically be financed into the loan amount so you do not have to pay it out of pocket at closing. The annual fee is included in your monthly payment. Contact a Brooks Bank mortgage lender for the current fee amounts.

Can I use a USDA loan to buy a farmhouse or agricultural land?

USDA loans have household income limits that vary by county and household size. These limits are set by the USDA and updated annually. Your Brooks Bank mortgage lender can look up the current limits for your county and determine if your household qualifies.

Is it true that USDA loans require 0% down payment?

Yes. USDA Rural Development loans require no down payment, making them an attractive option for qualifying borrowers with limited funds for upfront costs. You will still need to cover closing costs, but those may be financed or covered through seller concessions in some cases.
