Here is a breakdown of what you need to do in order to obtain a USDA loan.
Minimum credit score
USDA loans can be a great option for anyone looking to buy a house with no down payment. These loans don't require you to have a perfect credit history and can be obtained by anyone with an income. These loans are available in two main forms: direct and guaranteed. The USDA processes direct USDA loans, while approved banks and other third parties process guaranteed USDA loans. These loans are not available to people looking for homes in rural Tennessee. They are restricted to those with incomes below the county median income limit.
Maximum income limit
USDA guaranteed loans are Tennessee’s most popular rural development loan program. Unlike other types of mortgage, there are no fixed income limits, and maximum loan amounts vary by area. The amount you can borrow is determined by the USDA's maximum income limit in the area you live in and your debt-to-income ratio. Therefore, it is important to check your eligibility and make sure you're eligible for a USDA loan.
Requirements for down payments
USDA mortgage Tennessee provides no down payment financing, fixed rate interest rates, and low monthly premium mortgage insurance. USDA loan requirements are simple: a middle credit score of 620 or above, no collections within the past year, and no debt ratio exceeding 40%. Higher fico scores can be used to meet the debt ratio requirement. A lender can help you determine if your credit score is adequate to qualify for the loan.
Appraisal process
An appraisal is required for USDA loans. This process is slightly different to a conventional loan. The fair market value of a home is determined by a USDA appraiser. This appraisal must be comparable to recent sales. The appraiser must also have experience with rural lending and have access to all-weather roads. Without an appraisal that is satisfactory, the USDA will not approve loan applications. For more information about the USDA loan process, click here.

While you may be eligible for loans up to $420.680 in most Tennessee counties (but not in Nashville), the maximum is $694,000. Apply for a USDA loan to get a larger loan.
