HOT RURAL NEWS: New Country Home Loans for Hobby Farms: To date, the upside down value of land to homes in our area (due to high land values) have made funding a small hobby farm or home on acreage prohibitive. The rural, laid back beauty of our region has drawn many folks here for their 'patch of green' to grow a few apples or lavenders or just elbow room and a few horses. We've been hard pressed to find lenders for properties over 5 acres. At last we have some new options for home owners who intend to use their land for appropriate uses in rural zoned areas. The lenders we are dealing with are offering make sense underwriting. Naturally full doc and solid credit. This is very exciting news!

Terms and rates vary by credit risk, eligibility, location, and property type/use. Very competitive with residential rates. The minimum 15% down is great considering NO Mortgage Insurance is required.
Unlike USDA loans--also popular in our area--there is no ceiling on income or limits to business use as long as it's a legal zoned use for the land. It's very much a case by case underwriting decision.
