We verify two things: that the property location falls within a USDA-eligible area, and that your household income meets USDA guidelines (up to 115% of area median income). Many suburban Utah communities qualify: the boundaries may surprise you.
Once eligibility is confirmed, we process your loan application with USDA-approved lenders. Pre-approval includes income verification, credit review, and a determination of your maximum purchase price.
After your offer is accepted, the loan package goes through both lender underwriting and USDA review. We manage both processes in parallel to minimize delays. Typical closing timelines are 45–60 days.

USDA eligibility is determined by the property's location, not the buyer's address. Many suburban Utah communities outside Salt Lake City's urban core qualify. The USDA eligibility map is updated periodically, and areas can be added or removed. We check the current map for every property you're considering and can provide a list of USDA-eligible neighborhoods in Orem.
USDA income limits are set at 115% of the area median income and vary by county and household size. The income of all adult household members is counted, not just the borrowers on the loan. This is different from conventional loans which only consider borrower income. We calculate your specific eligibility based on your household composition and location.
USDA loans typically take 45–60 days to close because the loan must pass through both lender underwriting and USDA review. We manage both processes in parallel and submit a complete package to minimize back-and-forth. Setting realistic timeline expectations with the seller upfront helps avoid issues during the transaction.
