About This Course:
Home affordability is one of the biggest concerns for today's homebuyers, especially with the recent rise in interest rates. Low- and moderate-income consumers feel priced out of the market in many areas and are looking for solutions to help them achieve the American dream of homeownership even if it means leaving the urban core. As one of the original affordable-housing programs, USDA Rural Development is a necessary tool in a tough lending environment. This one-hour elective will cover all of the basics you need to know to add this powerful product to your lending arsenal. From income and geographic eligibility to the difference between household and qualifying income to calculating the USDA Guarantee Fee, you'll acquire knowledge to help you confidently bring this option to the right consumers at the right time.
