You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

A '''USDA Home Loan''' from the [[USDA]] loan program, also known as the USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan Program,<ref name="USDA GHL">((cite web|title=Guaranteed Housing Loans|url=https://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services/single-family-housing-programs|work=USDA|publisher=United States Dept. of Agriculture|accessdate=24 January 2013))</ref> is a [[mortgage loan]] offered to rural property owners by the United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Development.<ref>((cite web | url=https://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services/all-programs/housing-programs | title=Housing Programs | date=9 June 2015 ))</ref>

==Types of USDA Loans==

===Guaranteed Loan===
For home loans that may have an income of up to 115% of the median income for the area. Families must be without adequate housing, but be able to afford the mortgage payments, including [[property taxes|taxes]] and [[property insurance|insurance]]. In addition, applicants must have reasonable credit histories. Additionally, the property must be located within the USDA RD Home Loan "footprint." USDA Loans offer 100% financing to qualified buyers, and allow for all closing costs to be either paid for by the seller or financed into the loan.<ref>((cite web|url=https://usdaloaninfo.com/|title=What is a USDA loan))</ref>

USDA Home Loans have Maximum Household Income Limits which vary by the county in which you purchase a home; the income limits change annually. The Maximum Household Income Limits are based upon everyone in the home who is a wage earner, even if their income is not going to be used to qualify for the USDA Loan. For instance, Social Security Income from an elderly relative living in the home would be considered when determining the maximum household income - even if that relative was not going to apply to be on the mortgage loan. There are deductions, however, that USDA Underwriters allow, and oftentimes those calculations will pull a family under the Maximum Household Income Limit.

Approved lenders under the Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan program include:

Any State housing agency; lenders approved by HUD for submission of applications for Federal Housing Mortgage Insurance or as an issuer of Ginnie Mae mortgage backed securities; the U.S. Veterans Administration as a qualified mortgagee; Fannie Mae for participation in family mortgage loans; Freddie Mac for participation in family mortgage loans; any [[farm credit system|FCS (Farm Credit System)]] institution with direct lending authority; any lender participating in other USDA Rural Development and/or Farm Service Agency guaranteed loan programs.<ref name="guaranteed">((cite web|title=Guaranteed Housing Loans|url=http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/HAD-Guaranteed_Housing_Loans.html|publisher=United States Department of Agriculture|accessdate=24 January 2013))</ref>

Mortgage Insurance: USDA Loans require 1.0% of the loan amount in up front funding fee, and a monthly mortgage insurance premium based on up to 0.5% of the balance annually. The annual premium is divided by 12 to arrive at the premium charge per month. Effective 10/1/19, the annual fee is 0.35%.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.USDA.Gov/ |title=Home |website=USDA.Gov))</ref>

((More citations needed section|date=August 2014))

<!--Article uses abrv "HCFP" however there is no declaration of what it stands for! Aside from that is where someone copy and pasted "Click here to review area income limits for this program." from some other website, it's not even a link.-->

===Direct Loan===
Purpose: Section 502 loans are primarily used to help low-income individuals or households purchase homes in rural areas. Funds can be used to build, repair, renovate or relocate a home, or to purchase and prepare sites, including providing water and sewage facilities.<ref name="direct">((cite web|title=Direct Housing Loans|url=http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/HAD-Direct_Housing_Loans.html|publisher=United States Department of Agriculture|accessdate=24 January 2013))</ref>

Eligibility: Applicants for direct loans from USDA must have very low or low incomes. Very low income is defined as below 50 percent of the area median income (AMI); low income is between 50 and 80 percent of AMI; moderate income is 80 to 115 percent of AMI. Families must be without adequate housing, but be able to afford the mortgage payments, including taxes and insurance, which are typically 24 percent of an applicant's income. However, payment subsidy is available to applicants to enhance repayment ability. Applicants must be unable to obtain credit elsewhere, yet have reasonable credit histories.<ref name="direct" />

===Rural Repair and Rehabilitation Loan===
Purpose: The Very Low-Income Housing Repair program provides loans and grants to very low-income homeowners to repair, improve, or modernize their dwellings or to remove health and safety hazards.<ref name="repair">((cite web|title=Rural Repair and Rehabilitation Loans and Grants|url=http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/HAD-RR_Loans_Grants.html|publisher=United States Department of Agriculture|accessdate=24 January 2013))</ref>

Eligibility: To obtain a loan, homeowner-occupants must be unable to obtain affordable credit elsewhere and must have very low incomes, defined as below 50 percent of the area median income. They must need to make repairs and improvements to make the dwelling more safe and sanitary or to remove health and safety hazards. Grants are only available to homeowners who are 62 years old or older and cannot repay a Section 504 loan.<ref name="repair" />

==USDA home loan vs traditional mortgage==
A USDA home loan is different from a traditional mortgage offered in the [[United States of America|United States]] in several ways.
# USDA loans require no down payment, meaning that it is possible to finance up to 100% of the property value.
# One must meet the income restrictions for the county in which the buyer is interested.  Each county has a maximum Income Requirement. The USDA Home Loan Program does allow for considerations for expenses like Child Care.<ref>((cite web |title=Rural Development Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program |url=https://www.rd.usda.gov/files/RD-GRHLimitMap.pdf |website=United States Department of Agriculture |accessdate=4 January 2019))</ref>
#To be eligible, one must be purchasing a property in a rural area, as defined by the USDA.
#The home or property that the potential buyer is looking to purchase must be owner-occupied; [[investment|investment properties]] are not eligible for USDA loans.
