Kentucky First-Time Home Buyer Programs | USDA, FHA, VA & KHC Loans
I know the mortgage process can be confusing, so I thought I’d shed some light on what some of the acronyms in the mortgage world mean.
LTV
LTV stands for Loan to Value Ratio. It represents the amount of money borrowed divided by the purchase price of the home. For example, if you borrow $400,000 on a house with a purchase price of $500,000, the loan to value ratio or LTV is 80%. Different loan programs have different maximum LTV standards.
DTI
DTI Stands for Debt to Income Ratio. It represents a borrower’s monthly debts divided by their monthly gross inome. It is a calculation used by banks to determine how much money an applicant is qualified to borrow. Different loan programs have different maximum DTI ratios.

Fiscal Year 2022 Conditional Commitment for Kentucky USDA Rural Housing Loans
Fiscal Year 2022 Conditional Commitment for Kentucky USDA Rural Housing Loans
Fiscal Year 2022 Conditional Commitment Notice
With the start of Fiscal Year 2022 (FY) soon approaching, please take a few minutes to review the Single-Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program (SFHGLP) Conditional Commitment process. We hope you find this information helpful.FY 2022 will begin October 1, 2021 and ends at the close of business September 30, 2022.
Fee Structures:
An upfront guarantee fee of 1.00 percent and an annual fee of .35 percent will apply to both purchase and refinance transactions for FY 2022.
Issuance of Conditional Commitments:
At the beginning of each fiscal year, funding for the guaranteed loan program is not available for a short period of time – approximately two weeks. USDA anticipates this brief lapse in funding to continue for FY 2022. During the temporary lapse in funding, Rural Development – Rural Housing Service (RHS) will issue Conditional Commitments (Form RD 3555-18/18E) “subject to the availability of commitment authority” for purchase and refinance transactions. The issued Conditional Commitment will include the following:
“Funds are not presently available for this Conditional Commitment. The Rural Development-Rural Housing Service (RHS) obligation under this Conditional Commitment is contingent upon the availability of an appropriation from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of RHS for any payment on this Conditional Commitment may arise until funds are made available to RHS for this Conditional Commitment and until the Lender receives notice of such availability, to be confirmed in writing by RHS. More specifically, this Conditional Commitment is subject to RHS receiving sufficient funds (in the Program Funds Control System for the Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program for the Type of Assistance and State of application submission) to fund this and all prior eligible outstanding applications in their entirety in the time and date order received. When such funds become available, RHS will notify the lender, and the guarantee process will continue subject to all applicable Agency regulations and conditions set forth in this Conditional Commitment. RHS will not reserve loan funds for applications in process during this timeframe. Lenders may close the loan as scheduled. The lender will assume all risk of loss for the loan until RHS obligates funds and the Loan Note Guarantee is subsequently issued. When the lender requests the Loan Note Guarantee, the lender must certify to the Agency, using the process provided in this commitment, that there have been no adverse changes to the borrower’s financial condition since the date the Conditional Commitment was issued by the Agency. The lender will submit the appropriate guarantee fee at the time they request the Loan Note Guarantee. The loan will be subject to an annual fee of 0.35 percent over the average scheduled unpaid principal balance of the loan. The Agency will not be able to issue the Loan Note Guarantee until these conditions are met and funding is obligated.”
The application processing workflow is as follows:
Rural Development will continue to accept complete guaranteed loan applications for purchase and refinance loan transactions from approved lenders;
Rural Development will process, approve, and issue Conditional Commitments for those applications that are eligible “subject to the availability of commitment authority”;
Lenders may close loans as scheduled;
When funds become available, Rural Development will utilize the Electronic Customer File (ECF) system to advance the file to “Obligate Application” for Conditional Commitments that were issued for loans subject to the availability of commitment authority;
Once loans are obligated, Rural Development may process lender’s Loan Note Guarantee requests when the loan closing is verified, and

Fannie Mae announced that their Automated Underwriting System will now take an AVERAGE of the two scores for qualifying
Do you and your partner have very different credit scores? Great news! You may have access to more loan program options than you thought! Here’s the deal… All lenders pull FICO scores from each of the three credit bureaus to qualify a borrower. In situations with co-applicants, we will use the lower of the two middle scores for qualifying purposes. Historically, to do a Conventional Loan, both mid-scores would have to be above 620.

What is a debt to income ratio for a Kentucky Mortgage?
What is a debt to income ratio?
Kentucky First-Time Home Buyer Programs | USDA, FHA, VA & KHC Loans
A debt to income ratio, commonly referred to as DTI, is the ratio of the amount of monthly expenses you have relative to your gross (before tax) income.
The automated underwriter will look at two ratios when analyzing your DTI: your front end DTI ratio and your back end DTI ratio.
Front End DTI
The front end DTI is the ratio of your new housing payment including taxes and insurance relative to the amount of income you earn. The front end DTI ratio excludes all other debts and simply analyzes your income relative to the payments on the new mortgage plus tax and insurance.
So, if your mortgage payments including tax and insurance are $1,000 and you earn $4,000 per month in gross income, your front end DTI would be 25% ($1,000 / $4,000 = 25%).
Generally, the automated underwriter likes to see front…
