Will USDA lending loan on properties in a flood plain?

Yes but there is conditions. You must prove home is above the flood zone which is performed by a surveyor or engineer. And must produce an elevation certificate that shows that the top of the first floor is above the 100 yr flood level. You risk losing cost of the survey if home is below that level. If you want to get preapproved for usda or any other program please contact me at: jason.bennett@movement.com. Or by phone: 717-645-6200. Thanks

Correction. You only need proof of ability to get flood insurance as a condition. Just read an update on usda financing.

Jason nailed it

I would suggest getting a quote on Flood Insurance to make sure that you still qualify for USDA in terms of your Debt to Income Ratio with the additional monthly expense of Flood Insurance as well that the increased Mortgage payment is still in your budget.

Yes.. but conditions apply.. but worse than that.. you have to get flood insurance.. which is very expensive depending on which type of flood plain the property is in..
