Agricultural & Farm Land Loans: Cultivating Growth Without the Red Tape

Asset-Based Financing for the Modern Farmer & Investor

At LoanHouse, we recognize that agricultural real estate is a unique asset class that requires specialized expertise. Whether you are purchasing a new farm, expanding an existing operation, or looking to cash-out on your land’s equity, our No-Doc Ag Scorecard program provides the fast, flexible capital you need.

We move beyond the rigid tax-return requirements of traditional farm banks, focusing instead on the strength of your collateral and your overall credit profile.

The "No-Doc" AgScorecard Edge

Traditional agricultural loans can take months to process. Our streamlined Scorecard program is designed for speed and simplicity:

  • Loans Up to $3 Million: High-limit financing for significant land acquisitions or improvements.

  • Quick Credit Decisions: Get an underwriting decision in as little as 24 to 48 hours.

  • Simple Application: A convenient online process with significantly reduced documentation requirements.

  • Asset-Focused: We prioritize the "highest and best use" of the agricultural land rather than just your personal tax returns.

Eligibility & Guidelines

Our program is built for full-time farmers, part-time ranchers, and real estate investors looking to diversify into agricultural land.

Guideline Requirement
Minimum Credit Score 710 recommended
Minimum Property Size 10 Acres
Loan Purpose Purchase or Refinance of agricultural real estate
Max Loan-to-Value (LTV) Up to 65% for standard pricing; 75% for select smaller loans

Innovative Collateral Valuation

We maximize your borrowing power by including the value of structural improvements in your total eligible collateral:

  • Bare Land Value: Includes the value of the land, permanent plantings, and irrigation systems.

  • Dwellings & Residences: We can include the value of homes on the property (up to a $750,000 maximum contributory value).

  • Agricultural Improvements: Specialized structures like barns, grain storage, and hog finishing facilities can contribute up to 25% of the total appraised value.

Simplified Funding Process

Getting started is straightforward. To move toward an approval, we simply need:

  1. A Completed Loan Application

  2. A Brief Narrative: A short description of your operation, management background, and the collateral being used.

  3. Financial Overview: Your most recent tax returns and a current balance sheet.
