does 1/2 of a duplex qualify for usda loan

Your question is confusing.. specifically, what is your definition of a 1/2 of a duplex.. For the majority of the country, a duplex is one property, with 2 individual units. If this is what you are thinking about, then no.. you cannot buy half a property, and USDA will not allow you to purchase anything but a single family residence. However, in some area's of the country, there are properties that have 2 individual units, but they share a common wall. they are mistakenly called a duplex.. when in fact, its' just a single family home with a shared wall.. If this is your scenario, then yes.. it might qualify for USDA assuming it's in a USDA defined area. If you want to know for sure, you should contact a local mortgage professional and have him look up the property.. I'm a preferred Lender with California and Arizona being my primary markets.

I assume you are asking if you can use the rent on a duplex to help qualify. On most loans, the answer is YES. But on a USDA loan, the answer is no. USDA does not allow you to purchase any property that is income producing in any way. So this means no rental duplex, no crops, no farming land, no mother-in-law apartments, etc. For USDA loans in MN, WI, or SD, visit me at www.JoeMetzler.com/usda
