USDA Loan Program for Kentucky Homeowners
Home Point Financial is pleased to announce that we now have Kentucky USDA financing. USDA Loans in Kentucky are intended to provide lower-income homeowners with 100 percent financing (with no down payment). USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) loans, once known as farm loans, are now available to Kentucky residents in almost every KY county outside of major metropolitan areas (rural areas in Kentucky including Boyle County, Clay County, Cumberland County and others).
Loan Guidelines
There are a number of requirements to qualify for Kentucky USDA Loans:
- Monthly Kentucky housing costs (mortgage principal and interest, property taxes and insurance) must meet a specified percentage of your gross monthly income (29% ratio).
- Credit background will be fairly considered. At least a 640 FICO credit score is required to obtain a USDA approval through most lenders in Kentucky.
- Kentucky borrower must have enough income to pay your housing costs plus all additional monthly debt (41% ratio with some flexibility).
- Income can be up to 115% of the median income for the area.
- Bankruptcy: Have been discharged from a Chapter 7 bankruptcy for three years or more (if applicable).
- Kentucky property must be considered rural which is generally defined as open country with fewer than 10,000 people. Learn more here: http://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov.
Kentucky families must be able to afford the mortgage payments, including taxes and insurance.
USDA Mortgage Rates
KY USDA Loan rates vary by individual and are determined by a number of factors specific to the individual, Kentucky property being financed, etc. In general, KY USDA rates are better than average compared to other options for qualifying individuals.
