Prequalify for a Mortgage
Eligible Properties
Eligible properties are single-family, owner-occupied, principal residences or second homes. The value of the dwelling is typically 25% of the total appraised value of the property, but may be less with compensating strengths. No minimum or maximum acreage is required. If the property is less than five acres, $5,000 minimum annual gross sales of agricultural products from the property must be documented. Mixed use and non-contiguous properties are acceptable. Feasible and intended agricultural crop or livestock production on the property must be certified by the applicant.
Mortgage Amounts
Maximum loan amount is $3.0 million for purchases and refinances (both cash-out and no cash-out). There is no minimum loan amount. Cash-out refinances may be limited in certain circumstances. Larger loans are considered under special circumstances.
Eligible Borrowers
Eligible borrowers include U.S. citizens or nationals or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent U.S. residence; private corporations or partnerships where members, stockholders or partners holding a majority interest in the entity are U.S. citizens or nationals or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent U.S. residence.
