Are flat roof homes eligible for any of the USDA programs?Thanks 520-313-3002Virginia Bristol virginiabristol@yahoo.com

Hi Virginia, the USDA does not have any specific wording banning flat roofed homes. The key to finding out if something like this will get signed off on is if there are comparable sales that also have flat roofed homes. It's all about how the appraisal comes out and how the underwriter see it. IMHO

No.. but during the appraisal inspection, if the appraiser notes any issues, then it's possible he will make his appraisal "subject to" having the deficiencies repaired.. the lender will not lend unless the appraisal is "As Is" value..

Virginia, there is no special guidelines or prohibitions regarding flat roofs as long as the reasonable and ordinary to the area.I am in Arizona and do loans in Nogales as well as all of Arizona. I would be pleased to assist you with a USDA loan or any loan product we offer that fits you and the property.Korene Clopine-Seaman623-340-0934
