USDA Guaranteed Rural Home Loans in Maryland

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Guaranteed Rural Loans are creating homeownership opportunities throughout USDA eligible areas in Maryland. Unlike most loan programs, the USDA Loan doesn’t require a down payment. And when the seller pays the buyers closing costs, the buyers cash-to-close is minimal. Best of all, the USDA Loan program is available for first-time home buyers, previous homeowners, and move-up buyers. Acceptable property types include single-family homes, townhomes, and even condominiums. With the USDA Loan program saving up for a large down payment is no longer an obstacle toward homeownership.

The USDA Rural Development Loan Program offers first time homebuyers and move-up buyers:

100% Financed Mortgage, No Money Down, $0 Down Payment
USDA Loans Monthly Mortgage Insurance Premiums are 36% Lower Than A Comparable FHA Loan

USDA Announces Increased Income Limits

Date: July 12, 2024
Source Document
Questions or Comments Regarding This Information?

The income limits for the USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing Program have increased for almost all Maryland Counties effective July 12, 2024. Income limits are based on the income for all adult (18 and over) household members, regardless of whether they will be a borrower on the loan. Maximum County income limits are based on a household size of 1 – 4 or 5 or more people residing in the household. USDA does allow for situations where the household income can exceed the maximum County income, based on certain parameters. Reference MarylandUSDA Income Calculator for an instant income evaluation on whether your income meets or exceeds USDA’s maximum County limits.

Maryland's USDA Guaranteed Loan Income Limits by County are as follows:
County	Household Size
County	1-4	5+
Allegany
Anne Arundel
Baltimore
Calvert
Caroline
Carroll
Cecil
Charles
Dorchester
Frederick
Garrett
Harford
Howard
Kent
Montgomery
Prince Georges
Queen Anne's
Somerset
St Mary's
Talbot
Washington
Wicomico
Worcester

Remember that USDA does allow for the total household income to be higher than these income limits provided that certain adjustments or reduction to income can be made including:

Documentable childcare expenses for children age 12 and under
$480 per child for anyone under 18
$480 for any student other then one of the applicants
$400 for each disabled or handicapped individual who is not one of the applicants
Medical expenses for any elderly family member

These adjustments can be used to lower the gross household income to an amount that is less than the above mentioned maximum gross income. If you are considering financing an upcoming home purchase using a USDA loan and need assistance in calculating your adjusted gross income using USDA Rural Development Loan Income Guidelines complete the contact form or call (866) 747-2882 to speak to your local Maryland loan professional.
