Want Us to Review Your Credit for USDA?
Imperfect credit does not automatically end a USDA path. Many lenders target about 640+ for automated approvals — but manual underwriting, compensating factors, and the rest of your file can still open a door. Ryan and Steve review the full report and map USDA, FHA, or conventional before you waste months shopping the wrong program.

Ryan and Steve diagnose credit before you shop — so you know if USDA, FHA, or a short rebuild plan is the smarter move.
