How to get approved for a Kentucky Mortgage Loan in 2024


To determine if you can get approved for a Kentucky mortgage, several factors need to be considered, including your credit score, income, employment history, debt-to-income ratio, and down payment. Here’s a general overview of what lenders typically look for:

  1. Credit Scores : Most Kentucky Mortgage  lenders prefer a credit score of 620 or higher for conventional loans. FHA loans may accept lower credit scores, starting around 500, but a higher score (typically 580 or above) can improve your chances and offer better terms.

    Here are the general credit score requirements for FHA, VA, USDA, and Fannie Mae mortgage loans in Kentucky:

    Loan Program Minimum Credit Score Requirement Additional Notes
    FHA Loan 500 to 580 A credit score of 500 to 579 requires a 10% down payment; a score of 580 or higher requires a 3.5% down payment.
    VA Loan No minimum score VA lenders are more flexible with credit scores, but most lenders prefer a score of 620 or higher.
    USDA Loan no minimum score USDA lenders  typically require a minimum credit score of 640 or higher.
    Fannie Mae Loan 620 or higher Fannie Mae loans generally require a credit score of 620 or higher.

  2. Income and Employment History: Lenders evaluate your income stability and 2 year employment history to ensure you have a reliable source of income to make mortgage payments. Consistent employment and sufficient income are crucial.

    Here’s a chart outlining the employment and work history requirements for Kentucky FHA, VA, USDA, and Fannie Mae mortgage loans:

    Loan Program Employment History Work History Guidelines
    Kentucky FHA Loan 2 years of consistent employment with steady income 2 years of stable employment, including gaps explained Employment can include salaried, self-employed, or contract positions. Gaps in employment may require explanations and documentation.
    Kentucky VA Loan Stable income with continuous employment Stable work history with no significant gaps VA loans focus on the stability of income rather than specific employment duration. Military service may fulfill employment requirements.
    Kentucky USDA Loan 2 years of stable employment with reliable income 2 years of continuous employment, including explanations for gaps USDA loans prioritize consistent income and employment history. Gaps may require explanations and additional documentation.
    Fannie Mae Loan 2 years of employment with steady income and job stability 2 years of stable employment, including explanations for gaps Fannie Mae loans emphasize a stable work history with a focus on income stability. Gaps in employment may need explanations and additional documentation.

    These guidelines provide an overview of the employment and work history requirements for FHA, VA, USDA, and Fannie Mae mortgage loans. Lenders may have specific criteria and may consider factors such as income stability, type of employment, gaps in employment, and documentation of income sources. Borrowers should consult with a mortgage professional or lender to understand the detailed employment and work history requirements for their loan application.

  3. Debt-to-Income (DTI) Ratio: This ratio compares your monthly debt payments to your gross monthly income. Lenders typically prefer a DTI ratio of 31% to 45% on front end ratio and up to 55% on the back-end ratio, although some may accept higher ratios with compensating factors.

    Here’s a chart comparing the debt ratio requirements forKentucky FHA, VA, USDA, and Fannie Mae mortgage loans:

    Loan Program Front-End DTI Ratio Back-End DTI Ratio Guidelines
    Kentucky FHA Loan Up to 45% Up to 56.99% Front-end DTI includes housing-related expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Back-end DTI includes all monthly debts.
    Kentucky VA Loan 41% or higher  41% or higher  VA guidelines do not have specific DTI ratio limits but focus on residual income after accounting for housing and debt costs.
    Kentucky USDA Loan Up to 33% Up to 45% Front-end DTI includes housing expenses. Back-end DTI includes all monthly debts.
    Kentucky Fannie Mae Loan Up to 40% Up to 50% Front-end DTI includes housing expenses. Back-end DTI includes all monthly debts.

  4. Down Payment: The amount of your down payment can also impact your approval chances. A larger down payment can lower your loan-to-value ratio (LTV) and reduce the lender’s risk.

    Here’s a down payment chart for Kentucky  FHA, VA, USDA, and Fannie Mae mortgage loans:

    Loan Program Minimum Down Payment Down Payment Source
    Kentucky FHA Loan 3.5% of purchase price Can be from personal savings or gift funds
    Kentucky VA Loan 0% (No down payment) N/A (VA loans offer 100% financing)
    Kentucky USDA Loan 0% (No down payment) N/A (USDA loans offer 100% financing)

    Kentucky Fannie Mae Loan

    		 3% to 5% of purchase price Can be from personal savings or gift funds

     

  5. Other Factors: Lenders may also consider your savings and assets, existing debts, credit history, and the type of mortgage you’re applying for (e.g., FHA, VA, USDA, conventional).

To get a more accurate assessment of your mortgage approval chances, it’s best to consult with a mortgage lender or broker. They can review your financial situation, credit history, and specific loan requirements to determine your eligibility and help you navigate the mortgage approval process.

Kentucky FHA Loan Requirements for 2024 to include Credit Fico Scores, Down Payment, Income and Job history

FHA

An FHA loan is a mortgage issued by federally qualified lenders and insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). FHA loans are designed for low-to-moderate income borrowers who are unable to make a large down payment.

  • Minimum Credit Score is 500 with at least 10% down
  • Minimum Credit Score is 580 if you put less than 10% down

  • FHA Guidelines

    FHA Mortgage Guidelines

  • Upfront and Monthly Mortgage Insurance is required regardless of the Loan to Value
  • FHA Loans are only available for financing primary residences
  • Maximum Debt to Income Ratio of 50% (unless mitigating factors justify allowing a higher DTI)

Kentucky FHA Loan Requirements

Kentucky FHA Loan Requirements

The requirements for Kentucky FHA loans are set by HUD.

  • Borrowers must have a steady employment history of the last two years within the same industry or line of work. Recent college graduates can use their transcripts to supplant the 2-year work history rule as long as it makes sense.
  • Self-Employed will need a 2-year history of tax returns filed with IRS. They will take a 2-year average.
  • FHA requires a 3.5% down payment. Can be gifted from family member or from retirement savings plan, or money saved-up. Any type of cash deposits is not allowed for down payments. No exceptions to this rule!! This is one of the biggest issues I see in FHA underwriting nowadays.
  •  FHA loans are for primary residence occupancy. Not rental houses.
  • Borrowers must have a property appraisal from a FHA-approved appraiser.
  • Borrowers’ front-end ratio (mortgage payment plus HOA fees, property taxes, mortgage insurance, homeowners’ insurance) needs to be less than 31 percent of their gross income, typically. You may be able to get approved with as high a percentage as 43 percent. If the Automated Underwriting System gives you an Approved Eligible you can go higher on the debt ratios
  • Borrowers must have a minimum credit score of 580 for maximum financing with a 3.5% down payment
  • Borrowers must have a minimum credit score of 500-579 for maximum LTV of 90 percent with a minimum down payment of 10 percent. Most lenders will not go below 580 to 620 score, and very few lenders will go to 580 score. It’s best to work on getting your scores up before you apply or work with a loan officer to improve them.
  • 2 years removed from Chapter 7 is required with good pay history after bankruptcy
  • 1 year removed from Chapter 13 is okay with an excellent pay history with the Chapter 13 plan and permission from trustee. You will need to qualify with the Chapter 13 payment along with new house payment. Again, scores will play into your loan pre-approval.
  • Typically, borrowers must be three years out of foreclosure and have re-established good credit. Exceptions can be made if there were extenuating circumstances and you’ve improved your credit. If you were unable to sell your home because you had to move to a new area, this does not qualify as an exception to the three-year foreclosure guideline.

Mortgage Underwriters must follow both DU and agency guidelines when it comes to documenting and calculating qualifying income for a loan transaction. Income guidelines may vary slightly depending on the loan program and the borrower’s employment profile. Below are some general tips for W2 income.   
 
Documentation that may be required
Paystub with year to date gross earnings
At least 1 year’s W2
Verbal or full VOE
 
Base Pay:
Salaried and fixed hourly income is calculated by averaging the gross year to date income 
Variable hourly income is calculated by averaging 12 month history
Commission and tip income is calculated by averaging over 24 months
No transcripts are required for salaried, hourly, or less than 25% commission W2 income borrowers
Unreimbursed expenses do not have to be deducted from the gross pay for salaried, hourly, or less than 25% commission W2 borrowers
 
Overtime, and Bonus Income:
Overtime and Bonus can be used as effective income as long as it’s been received for 2 years and is reasonably likely to continue
Periods of less than 2 years may be considered as long as it’s been consistently earned over a period of at least 12 months and there are positive factors to offset the shorter history of receipt per underwriter discretion
Overtime and Bonus income must be documented by a full VOE
Declining overtime and bonus income cannot be used for qualifying income
 
Part Time Income:
FHA loans requires a 2 year history of working multiple jobs
Fannie Mae or Conventional loans will allow less than 2 years as long as it’s been consistently earned over a period of at least 12 months and there are positive factors to offset the shorter history of receipt per underwriter discretion

How to get approved for a Kentucky FHA, VA, USDA and Fannie Mae Mortgage loan with Variable Income

Variable INCOME if your borrower is not hourly at 40 hours a week or salary do you fall within VARIABLE INCOME?? Yup we all dislike that is calculated by an averaging method..

☁️Examples of income of this type include income from hourly workers with fluctuating hours, or income that includes commissions, bonuses, or overtime.

☁️History of Receipt: Two or more years of receipt of a particular type of variable income is recommended; however, variable income that has been received for 12 to 24 months may be considered as acceptable income, as long as the borrower’s loan application demonstrates that there are positive factors that reasonably offset the shorter income history.

☁️Frequency of Payment: us as a lender must determine the frequency of the payment Examples:
If a borrower is paid an annual bonus on March 31st of each year, the amount of the March bonus should be divided by 12 to obtain an accurate calculation of the current monthly bonus amount.

☁️Note that dividing the bonus received on March 31st by three months produces a much higher, INACCURATE monthly average.

☁️If a borrower is paid overtime on a biweekly basis, the most recent paystub must be analyzed to determine that both the current overtime earnings for the period and the year-to-date overtime earnings are consistent and, if not, why.

☁️There are legitimate reasons why these amounts may be inconsistent yet still eligible for use as qualifying income. For example, borrowers may have overtime income that is cyclical (transportation employees who operate snow plows in winter, package delivery service workers who work longer hours through the holidays).

☁️We must investigate the difference between current period overtime and year-to-date earnings and document the analysis before using the income amount in the trending analysis.

☁️Income Trending: After the monthly year-to-date income amount is calculated, it must be compared to prior years’ earnings using the borrower’s W-2’s or signed federal income tax returns (or a standard Verification of Employment completed by the employer or third-party employment verification vendor).

☁️If the trend in the amount of income is stable or increasing, the income amount should be averaged.

☁️ If the trend was declining, but has since stabilized and there is no reason to believe that the borrower will not continue to be employed at the current level, the current, lower amount of variable income must be used.

☁️If the trend is declining, the income may not be stable.

☁️Additional analysis must be conducted to determine if any variable income should be used, but in no instance may it be averaged over the period when the declination occurred.
