I have helped over 1300 Kentucky families buy or refinance their home over the last 20 years. Realizing that this is one of the biggest, most important financial transactions a family makes during their lifetime, I always feel honored and respected when I am chosen to originate their personal home loan. You can count on me to deliver on what I say, and I will always give you honest, up-front personal attention you deserve during the loan process.
I have several advantages over the large banks in town. First, I can search and negotiate for your loan options through several different mortgage companies across the country to get you the best deal locally. Where most banks will offer offer you their one set of loan products. I have access to over 10 different mortgage companies to broker your loan through to get you the best pricing and loan products that may not fit into the bank's program due to credit, income, or other underwriting issues.
You will not get lost in the shuffle like most borrowers do at the mega banks; you're just not a number at our company, you are a person and we will treat you like one throughout the entire process.
Louisville Kentucky VA Income Guidelines
Louisville Kentucky VA Residual Income Guidelines
Residual Income
VA residual income is one of the major underwriting guidelines required to qualify for a Louisville Ky VA mortgage. Residual income is calculated by determining the gross monthly income of the veteran and spouse. Then, ... deduct from that total gross monthly income the following monthly expenses:
0
State Taxes
Social Security
Federal Taxes
Proposed new monthly house payment (PITI: principle, interest, taxes and insurance)
Estimated Maintenance and Utilities
Monthly Child Care Expense
Alimony or Child Support
Monthly consumer debt payments: installment and revolving credit cards
The balance remaining is "residual income" and will determine whether the borrower qualifies based on the table below.
Louisville Ky VA's minimum residual incomes (balance available for family support) are a guide. They should not automatically trigger approval or rejection of a loan. Instead consider residual income in conjunction with all other credit factors.
An obviously inadequate residual income alone can be a basis for disapproving a loan.
If residual income is marginal, look to other indicators such as the applicant's credit history, and in particular, whether and how the applicant has previously handled similar housing expense.
Consider whether the purchase price of the property may affect family expense levels. For example: A family purchasing in a higher priced neighborhood may feel a need to incur higher-than-average expenses to support a lifestyle comparable to that in their environment. Whereas a substantially lower priced home purchase may not compel such expenditures.
Also consider the ages of the applicant's dependents in determining the adequacy of residual income. Count all members of the household (without regard to the nature of the relationship) when determining "family size," including:
An applicant's spouse who is not joining in title or on the note, and
Any other individuals who depend on the applicant for support. For example, children from a spouse's prior marriage who are not the applicant's legal dependents.
Exception: The lender may omit any individuals from "family size" who are fully supported from a source of verified income which, for whatever reason, is not included in effective income in the loan analysis.
For example: A spouse not obligated on the note who has stable and reliable income sufficient to support his or her living expenses, or a child for whom sufficient foster care payments or child support is received regularly.
Reduce the residual income figure (from the following tables) by a minimum of 5% if the applicant or spouse is an active-duty or retired serviceperson, and there is a clear indication that he or she will continue to receive the benefits resulting from use of military-based facilities located near the property.
Use 5% unless the Louisville Ky VA office of jurisdiction has established a higher percentage, in which case, apply the specified percentage for that jurisdiction.

How to apply for a Kentucky VA Home Loan?
- Kentucky VA guaranteed home loans benefit veterans because they do not need to make a down payment and there is no upper limit or required cap on the income of the borrower. Without a down payment as security against foreclosure, lenders receive a certificate of guaranty from VA.
- In essence, as gratitude for honorable military service, the government is vouching for the veteran's trustworthiness to repay his/her debt.
- To determine eligibility, a military veteran, active duty person, or a member of the national guard or selected reserves, must submit a VA Form 26-1880 (2 pages) (Form is now in a FILLABLE format - but people with Adobe 5.0 seem to have trouble with it) along with proof of service (DD Form 214, a statement of active duty, or proof of participation in the national guard or reserves) to the VA Eligibility Center, P.O. Box 100034, Attn. COE (@^@), Decatur, GA 30331.
- Based on the applicant's length and type of service, VA issues a certificate for each person determined eligible to apply for a VA guaranteed home loan. Check the status after ten days by calling 1 (888) 768-2132, option 1, between 8:00 - 4:00 Eastern time.
- Viewing and Inspecting the Home
- Kentucky Home buyers usually use the services of state-licensed real estate agents to: determine an affordable price range, suggest certain home features suitable for the buyer, schedule home tours, negotiate sales contacts and hold earnest money deposits.
- State-licensed real estate professional can explain the legal requirements for buyers and sellers, and can refer buyers to local lenders and certified home inspectors. Buyers should accompany their preferred home inspector during the inspection of the property to ask questions about the home's systems.
- Requesting the Loan
- Kentucky Home buyers may want to contact a lender even before they sign a contract for a home, so that they can be pre-approved to determine their maximum mortgage amount. Home buyers who wish to obtain a VA guaranteed loan should make sure that the sales contract includes a phrase, sometimes called a financing contingency, making the contract subject to approval for a Kentucky VA guaranteed loan.
- Lenders verify and review past and present job and credit history of home applicants and compare it with VA loan approval guidelines. If the documents with the loan request cannot be approved, then additional written information must be presented to the lender or the Kentucky VA for further consideration.
- Kentucky VA Lender Appraisal Processing Program (LAPP) lenders can process loans faster than other lenders. Kentucky VA LAPP lenders do not need to send any paperwork to VA until after the home sale is closed. VA's long-standing policy is not to recommend any specific lender.
- VA recommends that buyers compare lending terms among several lenders in order to find the best combination of interest rates, discount points, and other negotiable costs for a Kentucky VA guaranteed loan.
- Appraising the Property
- When an eligible veteran contacts a lender to request a Kentucky VA guaranteed loan, the lender obtains a VA number for the request via the Internet. The lender uses the VA number to monitor progress of the appraisal and loan application. The lender also sends a VA form to a state-licensed real estate appraiser who will visit the home to give the lender and VA an opinion of the market value of the property.
- The appraisal tells the lender and VA whether the property is expected to be adequate collateral for the requested loan. Neither the appraisal of the home nor the VA guaranty is a warranty from constructional defects and their resulting repair costs. Builders and brokers can issue warranties for the condition of the home's structure and systems.
- Closing the Sale
- If the loan and home are approved, the buyer needs to contact a state-licensed insurance agent who will provide homeowner coverage to protect the owner and lender from property damage and loss.
- Title to the home is usually examined and insured by a title insurance company that may also prepare closing documents and enter them into public records after the closing. After the home is purchased and the loan is originated, the lender usually sells the active loan to another company which will receive the loan payments and pay the real estate taxes and insurance premiums.
- Closing Costs for Kentucky VA Home Loans
- VA regulates the closing costs that a veteran can be charged when obtaining a VA home loan. The closing cost regulation is designed to keep lenders from charging veterans those closing costs that VA has determined as being beneficial to the lender and not necessarily beneficial to the veteran. For a list of allowable and unallowable closing costs, please follow the link below.
- Prequalifying Worksheet
- The Prequalifying Worksheet will give you a general idea of what you can afford, and whether you are within VA underwriting guidelines for approval. This Prequalifying Worksheet is not a commitment to lend, nor can it be used to determine whether a lender will approve the Kentucky VA loan. Please note, the Prequalifying Worksheet is in Excel format. Prequalifying Worksheet
