Kentucky USDA Loan FAQ’s
What is Considered a Kentucky Rural Area by the USDA?
Rural areas include open country and places with population of 10,000 or less and—under certain conditions—towns and cities. There is an automated rural area eligibility calculator for USDA home loans at: http://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov.
What is the Maximum Loan Amount for a Kentucky USDA Loan?
There is no maximum loan amount for a USDA rural mortgage. However, it is limited by the appraised value and repayment ability (determined by your household income).
What is the Maximum LTV for a Kentucky USDA Loan? The maximum USDA rural loan LTV can be up to 100% LTV plus the Agency guarantee fee.
Can Closing Costs be Financed into the Loan? Yes, any difference between the contract price and the appraisal value can be used to finance normal closing costs for a Kentucky USDA mortgage.
What is a Kentucky USDA Loan Guarantee? USDA Rural Development Single Family Housing Program serves as a safety net for mortgage lenders. The USDA provides the full faith and assurance of the U.S. government that any financial loss resulting from servicing the loan will be reimbursed in full up to an amount not exceeding 90% of the original loan amount.
All loss up to an amount not exceeding 35% of the original loan is fully reimbursed. Any loss amount exceeding the 35% is 85% reimbursed. This leaves the lender only 15% exposed on the loss amount above the 35% of original loan.
In the majority of cases, the total loss does not exceed 35% of the original loan and the lenders are fully reimbursed. This guarantee provides lenders an expanded level of protection against losses. The quality of this guarantee allows lenders to easily sell the loans on the secondary market.
