Hobby Farms - One of the challenges in financing a home in Yamhill County is that many of the rural properties have acreage and a small income producing component. Tax Code may allow for a tax break if a portion of the land is kept in production. i.e. raising a few cows, renting a stall out for a horse, or growing grapes. (Please consult a CPA or Real Estate attorney as I am neither). Most lenders will not accept a loan with Schedule E income from the property.

We have 3 solutions for financing a Yamhill County Hobby Farm.

• If the loan is under $417,000 we may have the ability to get a variance from Fannie Mae to allow for a small amount of income to be derived from the property. The key is that it cannot be a farm.
• We also have an Industry leading Portfolio loan that goes up to $1.5 million with extremely competitive rates. Since it's our money and we service the loan, we will use common sense underwriting to assess the risk.
• We can also broker the loan to several lenders who specialize in rural properties.
