502 Direct Loan Packaging
502 Direct Loan Packaging Program
Low- and very low-income rural residents need opportunities for home ownership, but traditional mortgage financing is too often out of reach. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development (USDA RD) Single Family Direct Loan Program (502 direct loans) is an affordable alternative that provides subsidized mortgage loans for modest homes in rural areas. The applicants are generally first-time homebuyers.
LIFT CAA is an intermediary and quality assurance reviewer of packaged loan application for USDA RD’s Section 502 Single Family Housing Direct Loan Program.
LIFT CAA provides training to qualified employers and certified packagers to ensure they are qualified to process loan applications. LIFT CAA also reviews completed loan applications for accuracy and completeness before sending them to USDA RD for approval.
