Kentucky VA Mortgage Loan Update to Private Roads and Shared Driveways


VA Update to Private Roads and Shared Driveways VA has announced that effective on and after 11/25/2022, they will no longer require the borrower to obtain a joint maintenance agreement when one doesn’t exist for properties that are accessed through a private road or shared driveway because it creates an undue burden on the veteran.

A recorded permanent easement or recorded right-of-way to the property from the public road is still required to ensure the veteran has legal and continued access to the subject property. VA underwriters are no longer required to mark item 5 of the NOV as it will no longer apply. Please refer to the Property Characteristics and the Appraisal Requirements, Forms topics for complete guidelines

Medical or Temporary Leave Income

The borrower has taken a temporary leave of absence from work typically for medical leave such as maternity, illness, surgery, or on the job injury.  This leave is short term in nature and the borrower is still employed with their same employer prior to the leave of absence.  

 VA: Borrower’s on temporary leave are not eligible for a loan transaction. 

  Frequent Job Changes
