Why Apply for Pre-Qualification?
Gain a competitive advantage to secure your ideal farmland property with pre-qualification from FBN Finance.
Applying for pre-qualification helps you make a fast, well informed financial decision when buying land. Be confident you have the financing you need to make a purchase offer — and know exactly how much you can spend — by getting pre-qualified for a farmland loan ahead of time. The offer remains valid for 180 days.
Land loan pre-qualification from FBN Finance:
Does not impact your credit score
Can be as high as $3 million
Clarifies whether you're currently financially positioned to make a land purchase

How Does the Pre-Qualification Application Process Work?
When you apply for land loan pre-qualification, we'll ask for:
Your personal information, including your name, address, and contact details. Sharing this information does not impact your credit score.
Your financial information, including your total asset value, total liability amount, gross farm annual income, and non-farm annual income.
Your loan needs up to $3,000,000. Loans above $3 million are not eligible for pre-qualification, but you may still apply for a land loan.
The pre-qualification application only takes a few minutes to complete. Once submitted, a member of the FBN Finance team will reach out to you within 48 hours to follow up with more information. If approved, you'll receive a downloadable pre-qualification letter to use in land purchase discussions.

Putting Family Farmers First
"I appreciate that FBN recognizes the importance of farmers," says Jamie Walter, an Illinois farmer and FBN member. "They value the independence that I have, and my peers have. And in an industry that's seen rapid consolidation... I see sometimes FBN not just as a tool but as a shield. I appreciate that, because I want to protect what we've got and continue to build on what we have."
