Kentucky VA Home Loan Guidelines
Those eligible for VA loans should at least look into taking advantage of this benefit
Probably one of the most talked about GI benefits is the VA Home Loan. You’ve probably heard of it, but have you ever thought of it using it? What is the benefit, how can it help you, and what’s the process?

Experience tells me that in our area, this is an under-utilized tool by many real estate agents and loan officers. Why? Because like anything having to do with the government, there are a few internal twists. But fear not—if you hire an experienced agent and have the right loan officer, you won’t even be aware of these.
What’s the Benefit?
While there are other housing-related programs that will help assist in repairing, retaining, or adapting a personal home, we’re specifically referring to the VA home loan. This type of loan is available through private lenders to service members, veterans, and qualifying surviving spouses. In a nutshell, the VA stands behind the loan, guaranteeing a portion of it, and either eliminating the need for or in lieu of a 20% down payment, as well as costly private mortgage insurance. It can be used to buy, build, or refinance a primary residence.
How Can It Help You?
  • Limited or Zero Down payment for veterans
  • No Mortgage Insurance monthly  (there is a one-time funding fee)
  • Re-Usable & Assumable by other eligible VA Mortgage buyers
  • No minimum credit score
  • Past Bankruptcies and Foreclosure over 2 years you can apply again
  • Can be used in any county of Kentucky with no max loan limit
  • No income limits on how much you can make
  • can refinance up to 100% of the home’s value if it passed the VA Net Tangible Worksheet
  • Very low 30 year fixed rate loans when compared to conventional loans
  • VA loans require termite inspection on all loans.
What’s the Process?
The first question to ask is, do you qualify? If the answer is yes:
  • Get financially pre-qualified by a lender that does VA backed loans, since not all banks do them, it is best to shop around and ask if the lender does a lot of VA loans in Kentucky
  • Obtain your Certificate of Eligibility (COE). The lender can help you with this.
  • Find your home
  • Negotiate the terms of your transaction
  • Apply for your loan
  • Closing

Those eligible for Kentucky VA loans, should at least look into taking advantage of this benefit.

Tips on Federal VA Loans


here are more Veterans than ever who are eligible for Federal VA financing ! Each day it seems I have an opportunity to work with Veterans who are finishing active duty or are making the transition to civilian life.

Veterans may return to the position they left when called to active duty, or may be hired by a new employer who sees the quality of employee they can have. Qualifying to buy and finance a home is reviewed individually based upon all employment history.

Here are some helpful tips to save money :

If receiving disability income from VA, a Veteran is exempt from the VA Funding Fee. The Funding Fee is financed and over the term of the loan it saves thousands !

Under regular Military, this fee can be 2.15% or on second use 3.3% Those in the reserves have a higher premium.

If you are not eligible to waive the VA Funding Fee– you can save on how much is paid by considering a down payment!

The VA Loan is available for up to 100% of the sales price however, if you consider putting 5% down and fall under regular military it drops from 2.15% to 1.5%. Reservists experience a similar savings! Here is an example:

On a Sales Price of $180,000.00 for a regular military Veteran, the cost of the Funding Fee is $ 3,870.00. At 5% down payment the VA Funding Fee is reduced to $2,700.00.

Have the seller payoff some of the Veterans debts!

Many individuals are not aware that VA Allows a seller to pay off debts . The total amount of contribution to veterans costs and debt cannot the limitation of 4% .

It is essential to work closely with the Real Estate professional on directing the wording in the earnest money agreement to request the amount necessary contribution necessary for the Veteran to close the loan.

Call me for any questions, knowing the flexibility of the Federal VA Program over the years, has enabled me to assist the Veteran in achieving the goal of home ownership!
