Loan and Mortgage Packaging

CASEWV is now packaging USDA Rural Development 502 Direct Mortgage loans and 504 Home Repair loans and grants. As a loan packager, CASEWV collects all the necessary documentation to be considered for the specific loan product and submits it to the Rural Development office or Packager Intermediary. By working with CASEWV, instead of directly with the local Rural Development office, you’ll be provided with a more hands on experience. CASEWV can help you understand the complex requirements and processes necessary in becoming a homeowner or obtaining funds to make repairs to the home you own.

o 502 Direct Mortgage loans are available to income eligible families and individuals who also meet the credit and current housing requirements.

o 504 Home repair loans are available to income and credit eligible homeowners. There is no age limit to apply for home repair funds. If you’re a homeowner who’s 62 or older, you may also apply for grant funds to make home repairs. In most cases there will always be a minimum $1000 loan. This loan usually does not require a lien on the property, however, if the need for repairs is extensive and costly, a lien may be required.

At this time, the Housing Program is not packaging loan applications for Home Mortgage and Home Repair Programs. If you’re in need of home repair, or interested in buying a home, please contact the the local USDA Rural Development office at 681-220-5766.
