      No, them asking for the $34 doesn’t mean you’ve got the loan yet. They need that money to check your credit score and your credit score, on top of a favorable rental history and income verification, is what will determine it at this point. Good luck.

      Yes. It is a frustrating process which moves very slowly. They are similar to FHA loans but have even more paperwork. They take 60 or 90 days. They require that the house be repaired prior to closing; which irritates home sellers who feel like they are being nitpicked about fixing windows that don’t have locks or windows that have tiny cracks. Do not use USDA to buy a repo property.
      The money order is just the first step in getting the loan. You won’t be sure you get the loan until the house value is determined by an Appraiser. Then you will know that you are going to get the house..
