Customer Testimonials

We just moved here the first of January in 2017 from Ohio to the Louisville, KY area and we found Joel’s website online. He was quick to respond to us and got back the same day on our loan approval. He was very knowledgeable about the local market and kept us up-to date throughout the loan process and was a pleasure to meet at closing. Would recommend his services.

Melody Glasscock March 2014

Absolutely Amazing!! I emailed Joel after I had just got a denial from a bank and just thought i would try to get some advice on what my next steps would be to get a house. I honestly didn’t expect to even get a reply because my credit is not great. That was about a week and a half ago. I just signed a contract on a house last night. ONLY because of Joel Lobb. He even worked with us throughout the weekend, which shocked me. Best decision I have ever made. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WORKING WITH US THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS.
Cee Bellisle August 2017

Contacted him about buying a home and he was great to work with. I was moving to Louisville Ky to take a new job and he walked me through the entire process. He explained to me all the different options for FHA, VA, USDA mortgage loans and credit score requirements versus Fannie Mae. Since I was a first time home buyer I needed alot of help and guidance. I would definitely recommend him. Fast to respond and available to answer questions that I or my realtor had after hours.

Anderson Johnson June 2018

We moved from Michigan to Northern Kentucky area and we were really impressed. We got a USDA loan no money down and closed in less than 3.5 weeks. We shopped around online with other lenders but Joel was always first to respond and his rates were just a little better than other lenders. He kept us informed through the process along with our realtor and there was absolutely no surprises like we heard from other co-workers and friends that they experienced in their loan process. We have already referred another co-worker to Joel . He’s AWESOME!

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). FHA’s primary objective is to assist in providing housing opportunities for lo to moderate income families. FHA has both single family (1-4 unit homes) and multi-family (5 or more units) mortgage lending programs.

FHA Maximum Loan Amounts are set by HUD for every county in the United States. Maximum loan amounts vary from one county to another. It is critical that the borrower’s loan amount, including financed closing costs, not exceed the maximum set by FHA for the county in which the subject property is located. There are no income limits on Louisville Ky FHA Loans  . Check with you Loan Consultant for the maximum Mortgage amount allowed in the county you are considering purchasing a home in.


Is Mortgage Insurance Required On Louisville Ky FHA Loans?


FHA is a government insured program with a unique mortgage insurance program. Although not as expensive monthly, you have an up front MIP fee. FHA requires a mortgage insurance premium on the 203(b) program. An up front premium of  1.0% of the loan amount is paid at closing and can be financed into the mortgage amount. In addition there is a monthly MIP amount included in the PITI of 1.15% . Condos do not require up front MIP, only monthly MIP.


Can I Use Gift Funds for the Down Payment for a Louisville KY FHA Loans ?

 

One of the most popular aspect of FHA financing is the ability to receive your down payment as a gift. It just needs to be from a relative. The down payment can be 100% gift funds. This is one of the key benefits to the Louisville Ky FHA Loans and FHA program. Most conventional mortgages do not allow 100% gift funds. Generally the borrower must have 5% of the funds.

Verification of the source of gift money is not required. However, it is necessary that the gift funds be deposited in the borrower’s bank account, or in an escrow account, prior to underwriting approval. Proof of deposit is required.

Gift donors are restricted primarily to a relative of the borrower. They can also be certain organizations, such as a labor union or charitable organization. Contact your Loan Consultant for complete information.

 


What are the Rules Regarding Bankruptcy for a Louisville KY FHA Loans?


FHA may have the most lenient policies towards bankruptcy, but you still must have a valid reason and re-established credit. Generally, a bankruptcy will not necessarily disqualify a potential borrower. Guidelines are as follows:

Chapter 7: Two years must have passed since the bankruptcy was discharged. (Note: Discharge, not Filing Date) The borrower must have re-established good credit without delinquencies for two years (or has chosen not to incur new credit obligations), and has demonstrated an ability to manage financial affairs. If the borrower does not incur new credit, such thing as, Car Insurance, Telephone, Cable, Utilities, Medical Payments, Etc. will be used to demonstrate re-established credit.

Chapter 13: A borrower currently paying off debts through this process may qualify if a minimum of one year of the pay out period had elapsed and payment performance has been satisfactory with no new derogatory credit and the borrower must receive court approval to enter into the mortgage transaction.

Realty Times – Get a HUD Home for $100 Down

Realty Times – Get a HUD Home for $100 Down.

Get a HUD Home for $100 Down

Call it the U.S. Department of $100 Down Housing.
HUD like other federal agencies, are anxious to unload properties they hold, because they can be a financial drain.The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is offering its foreclosed homes for a mere $100 down from now until October 2012.

Of course you’ll have to qualify for a mortgage, you may have to pays some closing costs, the deal isn’t available everywhere and the condition of the homes is strictly “as-is.”

If you can handle those qualifiers, here’s the deal:

• You can only buy HUD homes. Go to the HUD Homes For Sale web page.

• You must use a HUD-registered real estate broker or agent.

• You must qualify for and use Federal Housing Administration (FHA) financing.

• You must plan to be an “owner-occupant,” buying the property to live in and not as an investment.

• The home’s purchase price must be no more than the appraised value of the property. If you bid a higher price you can pay the difference in cash, minus $100.

• The $100 down incentive must be on the executed contract. That means you have to specifically request the incentive. Your real estate agent should be aware of this provision.

• In some cases, HUD will also cover up to 3 percent of the closing costs.

• The $100 down payment program is eligible for the FHA 203(k) loans. The loans allow borrowers to use a portion of their purchase loan to repair and renovate run-down homes.

That’s a good thing because HUD homes are sold in an “as-is” condition — what you see is pretty much what you get. You could find a diamond in the rough or fool’s gold. HUD homes often include a property condition report, but that is not a warranty.

The property report can resemble a home inspection report, but HUD home buyers are always encouraged to get a home inspection to determine just what “as is” is.

The deal is offered in states in two HUD regions:

Down Payment Assistance Program – Housing & Community Development – LouisvilleKy.gov.

 

Down Payment Assistance Program

 
 
The Down Payment Assistance Program provides qualified homebuyers a loan to assist with purchasing a home which will be their primary residence.

Homebuyer households must have income no greater than 80% of median income, adjusted for family size.

All Homebuyers must complete HUD approved homeownership counseling before assistance can be committed. A Certificate of Completion from the counseling agency must be submitted with the application. Contact The Louisville Urban League at (502) 585-4622 or The Housing Partnership Inc.at (502) 585-5451 for counseling.

Metro Government has revised its Down Payment Assistance Program increasing the amount of assistance.

We are now offering Metro Wide assistance, and homebuyers may qualify for a forgivable mortgage which will be forgiven over a five (5) year period of 10% of the purchase price of the home to a maximum of $10,000.

We will continue to provide maximum assistance in our 2009 Target Area neighborhoods, and homebuyers may still qualify for a forgivable mortgage which will be forgiven over a ten (10) year period of 20% of the purchase price of the home to a maximum of $20,000.

Our Department has also allocated closing cost assistance in the amount of up to $2,000 for down payment assistance programs; however, homebuyers must pay all prepaid costs from their own funds.

Homebuyers are responsible for obtaining primary financing with a fixed rate mortgage from a reputable lender.

A Housing Quality Standards inspection will be conducted by a Louisville Metro inspector before closing. All deficiencies must be corrected and verified by re-inspection prior to closing

A HUD-1 closing statement must be received two working days (48 hours) prior to closing.

Applications will be accepted at any time. Assistance is granted on a first come, first serve basis. For more information about the Down Payment Assistance Program, please call 574-3107.

FHA Updates Credit Qualifying Guidelines

FHA Updates Credit Qualifying Guidelines.

 

FHA (Federal Housing Administration) mortgages are known for the easier and flexible credit qualifying guidelines that are offered to borrowers. It is for this reason that so many people choose FHA mortgages for their financing. Recently, FHA has updated the credit qualifying guidelines for disputed accounts and collections that becomes effective April 1st.

When the borrower has one or several disputed credit accounts and/or collections with a total balance that is equal to or above $1,000, the accounts must be resolved by payment arrangement or paid in full prior to or at closing. If not paid in full, these payments will be included in the debt to income ratios. If payment arrangements have been made, there must be at least three months of verified payments as per the agreement made with the creditor. Any disputed account or collections that are the result of credit card theft, identity theft or unauthorized use are excluded from the $1,000 calculation. There must be related and appropriate documentation, such as a police report, to substantiate this claim.

When the total amount due on outstanding credit and/or collection accounts is below $1,000 the borrower does not have to pay off the accounts in order to receive approval. It is not considered an acceptable resolution according to FHA to pay down balances on any of these accounts in order to bring the balance below $1,000. FHA requires that court ordered judgments be paid in full prior to FHA mortgage approval. In the case of a court ordered judgment in which the borrower has an agreement to make regular payments and can show the documentation that at least three months of payments have been made, a borrower can continue to pay off the judgment and the payments will be included in the debt to income ratios.

Acceptable documentation to support any resolutions to credit or collection accounts include a letter from the creditor which outlines the terms of the payment arrangements or verifies the payoff of debt, canceled checks or a credit report supplement that verifies the payoff or payment arrangements. It is likely that more borrowers will be cleaning up their credit prior to making an FHA mortgage application once these FHA updates for credit qualifying go into effect.
