USDA RD Loans

[Lex M.]

This probably isn't all that innovative, but has anyone used this loan for investment properties? They way that I understand it, FHA loans require you to be in the property for 2 years before moving. Does the USDA have a similar requirement other than the borrower planning on using it as a primary residence? Do the lendors for the guaranteed version of the loan typically add on their own occuapncy requirements?

Thanks
