 FHA Mortgage Loans- Gifts to Pay off Debt to Qualify for a FHA Home Loan.

 

FHA Loans in Kentucky  – Gifts to Pay off Debt

Do you know that a gift can be used to pay off Borrower’s debts to qualify on an Kentucky FHA Loan?

A regular gift (this does not include a gift of equity) may be used to pay off a Borrower’s debt(s) for qualifying purposes as long as both the gift funds and the debt(s) being paid off with the gift funds are accurately disclosed and assessed by AUS TOTAL Scorecard. Whenever a gift is received on an Kentucky FHA loan, regardless of what it is being used for, it carries certain risks that must be assessed by TOTAL Scorecard for qualifying purposes.

When a gift is received to pay off debt(s), follow the steps below to ensure that TOTAL Scorecard accurately assesses the risk of using gift funds in paying off debt for qualifying:

  • Verify that evidence of the debt(s) having a zero balance has been obtained,
  • Enter the gift funds received separate from any account balances and check “will be paid off” for debts in loan origination system (not “paid off”), and
  • Submit the loan to TOTAL Scorecard

ethanwalkeros's avatarBankruptcy Attorney in Chicago

What happens to my house and credit after the Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge? There are a few different answers to this question depending on the choice made during the bankruptcy. If the filer decided to reaffirm their property during the Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the filer retains the property as if the bankruptcy never happened. The payments made on the reaffirmed debt will be reported to the credit bureau helping the filer rebuild their credit.

Now, let’s discuss the other option. What happens to my house and credit if the property is not reaffirmed? First, the filer can continue to live in the house as long as the monthly mortgage payment is made.
