Greg is right on. Just a little FYI, you can actually finance into the loan some repairs to the home. There are some restrictions such as the repairs need to be done very shortly after closing (I believe within 15 days) as well as the type repairs. This is rare today.

I know a fridge is not required, and I don't think the stove is either, but not sure about that.

I helped a young family buy a home with a USDA loan a few months back. It was a great fit for them.

USDA guidelines are vanilla when it comes to accepting a homes condition. They follow FHA guidelines. If I were you, I would contact your regional USDA office and ask them to provide you with documentation supporting that neither item is a requirement unless it is a part of the house as in attached to the home. Use this documentation to fight an appraiser who is not aware of the exact guidelines or a lender who says USDA requires it. I will sift through the thousands of pages in their guidelines and try to get this for you, but it may take me a few days to get to it. I will just do it now. Here is what I could find in the 4150.2. If the appraiser considers the appliance a part of the home, then it would be contributing to the value of the home. All the appraiser needs to do is place a p on the report and make a comment about no value was given to the appliances. Appliances
Make an entry [X] in the boxes to indicate that these items exist. An entry in a box means that the item was considered part of the real estate and is included in the value. If an item is personal property, put a "P" in the box and do not include it in the opinion of value.
Field
Protocol
Refrigerator
Enter "X" if this item exists. Enter "P" if personal property.
Range/Oven
Enter "X" if this item exists. Enter "P" if personal property.
Dishwasher
Enter "X" if this item exists. Enter "P" if personal property.
Disposal
Enter "X" if this item exists. Enter "P" if personal property.
Fan/Hood
Enter "X" if this item exists. Enter "P" if personal property.
Microwave
Enter "X" if this item exists. Enter "P" if personal property.
Washer/Dryer
Enter "X" if this item exists. Enter "P" if personal property.
Other
Enter "X" for existing item not listed above and describe. Do not include personalty.

I'm working a 100% financing deal right now with a USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Loan.
The Borrower makes nearly $50,000 per year teaching school and has over $400,000 in her 401K . . . . but she's wanting this Zero Down Payment Loan, and it's probably going to fly.
One fly in the ointment is that they're now saying that the H2O test must be for not only E.Coli and Total Coli Form; but it must also test for the presence of Lead, Nitrates and Nitrites . . . . but they don't bother to tell us what the tolerance levels are.
How can you have a test if you don't know what level constitutes a pass and what would be a failure ?
