Should be zero out of pocket, but I'll pay $33/month in mortgage insurance (I think you've had to pay a small MI amount on anything originated since the beginning of Q4 2011 on any RD loans).

I went through GMFS over here as my builder was offering 4K in closing costs to used the preferred lender.

Got the approval at 3.75% fixed rate for 30 years. Bought a 1400+SFLA 3B/2BA home-new construction-for $129K. The PITI should be around $750/month.

You cannot beat that folks.

My fiancé had a middle score of 680+ and mine was 650+ after paying a CC to a certain amount and then getting a rapid rescore.

620 is enough to qualify with plenty of healthy trade lines. There are income limits and geographic limits. Can't be in an area that's considered urban on the Census map. All of LP, Ascension, and Tangi are RD eligible. Small parts of EBR are eligible along Greenwell Springs Rd and Hoo Shoo Too Lane.

For a family of 2 it was 75k approximately. I may post on the Money Board but I'm OT poor so we are under that threshold.

It actually got submitted on 7/5, so I'm guessing that we *may* be able to close by 7/31. I'm not hopeful.

That gives them 18 business days. I think they're 17 or 18 behind now so it'll be close.
