The Section 502 Guaranteed Rural Housing Loan Program is designed to serve rural residents who have a steady, low or modest income, and yet are unable to obtain adequate housing through conventional financing. These loans enable low- and moderate-income rural residents to acquire modestly priced homes.
If the applicants credit score is less than 640 for 502 loans (or 620 for 504 loans), the Loan Originator must development a credit history from at least three sources. However, only two sources are required if one of those is a verification of rent or mortgage payments.
USDA loans can be hard to get since they have strict income, payment, and home location limits. For instance, your income cant exceed 115% of the median household income in the area where you want to buy a home. Then, your monthly payment cant exceed 29% of your gross monthly income.
A USDA loan can be denied due to various factors, including insufficient income, high debt-to-income ratios, credit score issues, property issues, or the property not being in a USDA-eligible area. Additionally, employment stability and incomplete applications can also lead to denial.

While USDA loans typically require a 640-plus credit score for automated underwriting, borrowers with scores down to 500 can still qualify through manual underwriting. Lenders will weigh those compensating factors alongside your FICO score.
Put simply, if you qualify for a USDA direct loan, its usually the best deal youll find. In contrast, the USDA guaranteed loan has broader income and eligibility requirements, making it accessible to a much larger group of applicants.
