USDA loan Hawaii

[Matthew Vezzani]

Aloha BP community,

I am looking to purchase a home in Oahu, HI with little to no money down and I found out that I am eligible for a USDA loan. I read some of the requirements and see that the house has to be your primary residence. I am wondering if anyone has purchased a home using this loan and knows if after a certain amount of time you can then rent out the property? If anybody has experience/advice on whether or not using a USDA loan is good idea for a buy and hold it would be greatly appreciated.

Mahalo,

Matt
