Kentucky FHA Loan Employment History Requirements

  • No matter what you must provide a 2 year employment history. Conventional or Kentucky FHA Mortgage Loan.  Conventional does not always need to be verified with a written work verification form
    • if you do not have a complete 2 year history you must explain any large gaps.  Typically I have seen this to be greater than 30 days.
    • you must have a 2 year history prior to the gap as well.  (two underwriters from two different lenders have recently told me the same thing)
    • also check your AUS-Automated Underwriting Findings  because that can help when speaking with your potential borrower.
    •  
  • Exception to the 2 year history is college or HS graduation
    • need official college transcripts or they can be unofficial if you get them with the web URL just like bank activity.
    • good idea to snag their diploma as well.
    •  
    • you probably don’t even need to use this exception if the person was a student but also worked and had a 2 year job history.
  •  Kentucky FHA Case Number Assignment
    • if there are any job gaps greater than 6 months in their two year history the borrower must be on their current job for at least 6 months before the FHA case number can be assigned.
    • again you must then get a 2 year employment history prior to the 6 month or more gap.  however far you must go back.
    •  
  •  
  • W2s / 1099s
    • even if you are not using the income to qualify from a part time job please get every single w2 / 1099 from your borrowers.

Debt-to-Income Ratio for Kentucky Mortgage Loans

Your debt-to-income ratio, technically speaking, is all of your monthly debt payments divided by your gross monthly income—that is, the percentage of your gross monthly income that goes towards payments for rent, mortgage, credit cards, and other debt. This is how lenders measure your ability to manage the monthly mortgage payments to repay the money you’ll be borrowing. 

To calculate your debt-to-income ratio, add up your monthly debts—this includes car payments, credit cards, mortgages, and student loans. Divide this amount by your monthly gross income, and you’ll get your DTI ratio. 

For reference, the standard maximum DTI for conventional loans is 45%, and for FHA loans it’s 55%. Of course, the maximum DTI depends on the home loan.
