CA USDA rural loan

Loans exceeding the FHFA conforming loan limits (which were around $766,550 in 2024 for most areas, but may differ) are jumbo loans. They are not eligible for purchase by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and may have different underwriting standards. At $500,000, it would be conforming in 2024, but this question tests the concept.
