02
Start with how you’ll use the property
Borrowers may be buying a year-round home, a second home, or something else. Each occupancy type is financed differently. FHA, VA, and USDA are designed for primary residences, while second homes are generally financed conventionally. This page doesn’t assume which applies — it only explains why the answer matters.
03
Property characteristics to raise early
Seasonal road access, private wells, septic systems, heating sources, and cabin construction can all affect appraisal and whether a property meets program guidelines. Share these details early so they can be reviewed before you commit.
04
Loan options by situation
We can help you compare loan options for a primary residence, including conventional, FHA, and VA loans for eligible borrowers, as well as programs from Idaho Housing. Some properties may fall within USDA-eligible areas, depending on the current USDA eligibility map and borrower requirements.
05
