Before you choose

Property location and household income limits must both qualify, and USDA approval adds time to the closing.

  • Is this address in a USDA eligible area?
  • Does my household income fall under the limit for this county?
  • How long does USDA approval take with you right now?

More about USDA loan

How this list is ranked

Specialty evidence carries the most weight (production data, then lender page, then self-reported). Loan officers must be licensed in MN or have a branch there. Then branch location, years licensed and profile completeness. Disciplinary actions lower the score and are always shown. No paid placement. Methodology.

Same list as JSON: /api/v1/loan-officers?specialty=usda&state=MN. Not a lender. Not a referral service. Verify licenses at NMLS Consumer Access.
