Interesting that you are in NY and got the approval over the 2000 square feet.... I too am in NY and got my GFE yesterday, and found that the funds were WAY lower than what was originally proposed to me. Then when I called to Syracuse today to find out why she told me that because the taxes and the homeowners insurance were more than they calculated is what brought my $ down..... but then she proceeded to tell me that they WOULD NOT over look the 47 square feet that I was above 2000. REALLY USDA????? 2047 sq. ft. ??? a freaking closet. They are rejecting my housing package over a freaking closet.! I am so not happy right now.
