Because of it\u2019s unique location \u2013 Fuquay Varina is experiencing a faster paced Real Estate Market than other parts of the Triangle.\u00a0 It is benefiting from expansions at Fort Bragg,\u00a0 the completion of I-540, and the number of manufacturing facilities coming to this part of Wake County, including the growing Lenovo and Novartis plants.\u00a0 The town grew from 4500 residents 2 decades ago to 27,000 people now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Many of those new residents are looking for homes with little or no down payment, because many first time home buyers have not been able to save for a home.\u00a0<\/strong> Why is that?\u00a0 Rent prices are at an all time high, and most first time home buyers have student loan debt.\u00a0 This means they are having to rely on family and the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/pfh.ysh.temporary.site\/website_d1c340c1\/fha\/borrowing-money-for-your-home-from-your-family\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bank of Mom and Dad<\/a>&#8221; to help out buying a home.\u00a0 What if that&#8217;s not an option?<\/p>\n<h2>USDA Home Loans in Wake County<\/h2>\n<p><strong>That&#8217;s where USDA Home Loan Mortgages come into the consideration.\u00a0<\/strong> For years folks who wanted to live in a small town like Holly Springs, Fuquay Varina, Knightdale and Wake Forest needed to have enough money pulled together to pay for part of their closing costs, but other than that they knew they didn&#8217;t need money for a down payment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>USDA Home Loans in Wake County don&#8217;t require a\u00a0 Down Payment, they are 100% of the Sales Price Loan!\u00a0<\/strong> \u00a0For the last 10 years, you could ask the <a href=\"https:\/\/pfh.ysh.temporary.site\/website_d1c340c1\/first-time-homebuyer\/seller-paying-your-closing-costs-for-your-new-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sellers to pay closing costs<\/a>.\u00a0 With the shortage of houses available to purchase shrinking so drastically, the chances of having a Seller pay closing costs is limited.<\/p>\n<p><strong>According to one survey,\u00a0more than 17 percent of millennials surveyed expect financial help from family towards a down payment.\u00a0<\/strong> Gifts are allowed with USDA Home Loans.\u00a0 In fact there are only a few &#8220;quirky&#8221; restrictions for USDA Home Loans in Wake County:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Property must be located within the USDA Home Loan &#8220;Geographic Footprint.&#8221;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Household Income must be under the maximum (it changes each year) which is currently $127,950 for a family of 4 or more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You need at least a middle credit score of 620.\u00a0<\/strong> If your scores are under 680, the GUS system right now is making those a Manual Underwrite, and there are <a href=\"https:\/\/pfh.ysh.temporary.site\/website_d1c340c1\/usda-loans\/debt-waiver-request-usda-home-loan-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">additional requirements for Debt to Income Ratios<\/a> and slightly higher interest rates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We have to <a href=\"https:\/\/pfh.ysh.temporary.site\/website_d1c340c1\/first-time-homebuyer\/student-loan-ibr-mortgage-qualification-2014\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">count student loan debt<\/a> <\/strong>that is not on a level payment plan at 1% of the balance.<\/li>\n<li>You can&#8217;t use USDA Home Loans in Wake County to <a href=\"https:\/\/pfh.ysh.temporary.site\/website_d1c340c1\/usda-loans\/usda-loans-and-outbuildings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">buy a working farm<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The &#8220;big deal&#8221; about this change in June, is that it looks to us like the Incorporated areas of Fuquay Varina and Holly Springs are will no longer be eligible for the USDA Loan Program.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a Map that shows what is available for USDA Home Financing TODAY.\u00a0 The shaded areas do not qualify, but you can see that Fuquay and Holly Springs are pretty much in the clear.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pfh.ysh.temporary.site\/website_d1c340c1\/usda-loans\/usda-home-loans-wake-county-map-changes\/attachment\/2018\/\" rel=\"attachment

4th.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s what USDA sent us:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;On June 4, 2018, all properties for new applications must be located in an eligible rural area based on the new maps.\u00a0 However, a property that is located in an area being changed from rural to non-rural may be approved if all of the following conditions are met:<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em>The application is dated and received by the lender prior to June 4, 2018 and the Loan Estimate was issued by the lender within 3 days of application receipt.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The applicant has a signed\/ratified sales contract on a property that is dated prior to June 4, 2018.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Applicant meets all other loan eligibility requirements.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>If the property is located in\u00a0an area being changed from rural to non-rural, lenders must provide Rural Development all of the following information in addition to all other required documentation.\u00a0 For loans submitted via the Guaranteed Underwriting System (GUS), the documentation must be uploaded into the system.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Copy of the signed\/ratified and
