(INDEX)
H
OPEN CHARGE ACCOUNTS
ALIMONY, CHILD SUPPORT, OR SEPARATE MAINTENANCE
  • · Court-ordered payments should be documented by a copy of the court order.
  • · Borrower(s) must have an acceptable existing repayment plan for any arrearages and proof of 12 months on time payments, and/or be required to pay account in full prior to, or at closing.
  • · See Collections/Chargeoffs for additional requirements if there are arrearages.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
  • · If the borrower is a co-signer on an account paid by a 3rd party, the liability may only be excluded from the borrower debt ratios if evidence the primary obligor has been making the payments on time on the debt for a minimum of 12 months can be obtained.
  • · Court-ordered assignment of debt should be documented by a copy of the court order. Must have 12 months cancelled checks from the payer of the court ordered debt in order to exclude from the debt ratio.

PREVIOUS MORTGAGE:

  • · Section 1980.345(c)(1)(ii) requires all previous mortgage liabilities disposed of through a sale, trade, or transfer without a release of liability, to be included in the debt ratio calculation unless evidence can be obtained to confirm the remaining party has made payments over the last 12 months.
  • · In divorce settlements when one person retains ownership of a residence as a result of the proceedings, it does not imply that the person relinquishing ownership is automatically released of the financial liability associated with an existing mortgage debt. The divorce decree along with a release of liability from the mortgage creditor must be presented as evidence that an applicant is no longer legally responsible for the mortgage payment. If no release of liability is granted by the creditor then the applicant remains legally obligated for the debt. Quit claim deeds do not remove liability for mortgage debts.
DEFERRED INSTALLMENT DEBT May not be omitted from debt ratio. If the credit report does not reflect a monthly payment due at the end of the deferment period, the lender may request a copy of the applicant’s payment letter, or utilize the industry standard of estimating student loan payments as 1% of the loan balance.
NON-REIMBURSED EMPLOYEE EXPENSES If the borrower claims any non-reimbursed employee expenses (IRS Form 2106 or 1040 Schedule A), the borrowers monthly income should be reduced by the annualized monthly average.
BUSINESS DEBT IN BORROWER’S NAME When the account in question does not have a history of delinquency, the debt may be excluded with satisfactory evidence the obligation was paid out of company funds (such as 12 months cancelled company checks). If the account in question has a history of delinquency, the full debt obligation must be included in the borrower’s debt ratio.
FINANCED PROPERTIES Additional financed properties are generally not permitted as borrower may not own any other suitable housing at time of closing.
DEBTS WITH <6 REMAINING PAYMENTS The total debt ratio should include revolving debt regardless of when the debt will be retired. Installment loans will only be considered if the debt will be retired in more than six months. However, if the monthly payment on the debt is substantial, the payment will also be included in long term debt. The GUS system will automatically exclude debt that is eligible to be excluded. If not excluded by GUS the debt must be included in the debt ratio.
“PAYING DOWN” ACCOUNTS Not permitted. Settlement offers will not be considered as proof of balance
SETTLEMENT OFFERS Are acceptable on accounts that will be paid in full at closing as long as the offer is in writing from the creditor reporting on the credit report.
PAST DUE ACCOUNTS (NOT A COLLECTION OR CHARGE OFF) Recent derogatory credit >1×30 within the previous 12 months is not permitted unless approved by GUS. All past due accounts must be current at time of closing.

Kentucky USDA and Rural Housing Underwriting Update for November 2012


Kentucky USDA and Rural Housing Underwriting Update for November 2012

This website is not an Government Agency, and does not officially represent the HUD, VA, USDA or FHA or any other government agency. 

1)  Kentucky USDA loans and rural housing underwriting  is tightening up!  You are going to see us asking for more to make sure we have it to respond to USDA when they ask for it.  We don’t want to be caught shorthanded on these deals and be stuck waiting to get them closed (neither do you!) so to be reactive to the changes with USDA, you will find that we are conditioning for more than we used to.  To help us be on the ball with your USDA loans, be sure to include the following:

1)  30 days most recent paystubs showing a YTD amount

2)  VOE’s if the borrower is NOT employed in the same position for more than 2 years or the borrower has OT, Bonus or commission income.  We will recommend Written VOE’s   for the purpose of showing the borrower is in the same line of work!

3)  Assets – if your 1003 shows bank information and asset information then you must provide the most recent 2 statements to prove this information

4)  Collections & open judgments must show on your liabilities.  Please provide an LOX for all Derogatory credit  this LOX should show that the circumstances were temporary in  nature, beyond the applicant’s control and resolved to the best of their ability

5)  VOR‘s are required for all USDA loans.  USDA has been consistently requesting this information in the past 30 days.  For files above 640, a VOR will suffice.  For files under 640,     we will require 12 months cancelled checks.  If a VOR is not available due to the borrower living with family,  an LOX will be needed

6)  Paystubs for all income in the household regardless if they are on the loan or not. Must be most recent and 30 days worth to help determine actual income

7)  Garnishments or child support shown and if paying it we will require the court order. If receiving it, we need a 12 month history of receipt and court order

8)  W-2’s for the past 2 years for ALL jobs

9)  Tax returns if self employed or unreimbursed expenses are shown

10)  YTD P&L if self employed prepared by tax preparer and signed by borrower.

11)  1980-21 signed by borrowers

12)  Fully executed purchase contract

Remember – we cannot send a file to RD without an appraisal!!!  The appraisal must state that the property meets HUD Handbooks 4150.2 and 4905.1.

2)  Turn times for USDA in several states are extreme.  We understand your frustration with the delays and want to express to you that we are watching diligently for return commitments to push your files to closing.  If you could review your USDA loans with us and insure that all conditions are met….except for the CC…we can expedite these files ASAP when the commitment comes in.  If your file has been with us for over 30 days, please update the paystubs as ours will have expired!!!

Thank you for your attention and please let me know if you need me!
