Arkansas USDA Loan Eligibility
Income Eligibility
Contrary to other home loan programs USDA has maximum amount of money a household can make in a single year. The USDA income limit is determined by the average income earned in a specific county.
The household income limit in Arkansas is $90,300 for a household of up to 4 people. If the household has 5 or more people, the Arkansas USDA income limit is $119,200.
Arkansas’ income limit varies for every county. The income limit is calculated using the average household income in the area.
You can fill out the USDA Eligibility form to see if you qualify for a Arkansas USDA loan.
USDA loans are eligible for new or existing homes in USDA eligible areas. Although the majority of Arkansas qualifies for USDA lending, make sure to check the property eligibility tool to verify property eligibility.
