The guidelines for USDA state you have to be purchasing a "Primary Residence" and you have to live there for at least 12 months.. once you pass the 12 month mark, you can rent it out if you wish and there's nothing USDA can do..

When you purchase a USDA home it always has to be as a primary residence, but after a year is up you can choose to rent it out as you see fit. Best wishes, Sean
