USDA loans still being processed and funded
August 9th, 2010 | 
Author: Although I have heard of several lenders that are not processing and funding USDA Rural Guaranteed Loans until Congress re-authorizes funding for the program, we at Alpine Mortgage Planning are funding USDA loans.
There are hoops that have to be jumped through for any lender that funds USDA loans under the current circumstances and they must fund the loan and keep it on their books until USDA is in the guarantee market again. That is what we are doing. Our USDA loans are processed, underwritten and funded “in-house.”

The USDA Rural Housing loan program is a great program for those looking to buy a home with no money down. The only drawback is the funding fee is going up from 2.25% to 3.5% of the loan amount. True, not many lenders are doing USDA Rural Housing loans right now as the USDA offices have not received their funds yet. Some lenders are willing to underwrite and fund the loans in advance of USDA funding. So, take advantage of the program if you can – especially while the mortgage rates are down.
Thanks for the comment Lew. Actually, the former funding fee was 2%, not 2.25. As you can see, we are one of the lenders that are funding these loans.
