Hi Carol..CONGRATULATIONSSSS!!!! My guess would be that it would depend on the property, like location, repairs, appraisal. Since I had the home picked out they had to make sure that it was located on/near a state maintained road, location, value, underground septic, etc. If you have found one lower that 140,000 go for it, because that could roll ur what you have left from the 140,000 (if you found a house lower) to pay for your closing fees. I will see what I can find on the preapproval stage for you.
Below is the information on the pre-qual stage, and what it means:

Hi Carol,
even though I had a closing date contracted or set, the closing date could not happen until USDA received all the information to process. So, I will probably depend on when they will go out and inspect, get the appraisal done, survey etc. there are things that they have to have to move forward in each process that is in the handbook, it is best to cut out worry for ourselves (i was worried), to just go through the handbook for the process..meaning the things that the underwriter collects before sending the file off to funding and then the closing agent for USDA. Even though you have a closing attorney, USDA has there own closing agent who sends your closing packet to your closing attorney. If I didn't answer your question let me know.
CONGRATULATION!!!! JNAVA!!!! the below info may help:
