they are zero down right? for usda areas but i'm in NY proper. looking upstate and have 741 credit. pretty good but in a significant amount of debt but if i sell and get a less expensive house like i'm planning paying off debt and then some will be no problem. i also am aware of the income cap - i am retiring next month and will be living off of savings. hopefully that is no problem. by jay.malik843499 from Brooklyn, New York.

Savings in the bank is not a valid source of income. You will need verifiable monthly income, such as social security or retirement.

Upstate NY is a broad area. Speak with a local mortgage professional who can guide you through the USDA home loan process and verify whether an area is USDA eligible or not. Congratulations on retirement.
