Kentucky VA Mortgage Guidelines for Student Loan Payments

Clarification and New Policy for Student Loan Debts and Obligations

Kentucky VA Mortgage Guidelines for Student Loan Payments


 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Circular is to clarify and explain new policy regarding
student loans for the underwriting of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) guaranteed home
loans.

 2. Background. The policy in the Lender’s Handbook- VA Pamphlet 26-7, chapter 4, section 5,
paragraph G will now be titled Student Loans. The clarification will apply to deferred student
loans and the new policy will provide guidance for student loans in repayment or, to begin
repayment within 12 months of a VA loan closing. Student loans under certain repayment plan
types are described at studentaid.ed.gov. This policy applies to all student loan repayment types.

 3. How to Calculate a Student Loan Monthly Payment.

 a. If the Veteran or other borrower provides written evidence that the student loan debt will be
deferred at least 12 months beyond the date of closing, a monthly payment does not need to be
considered.
 b. If a student loan is in repayment or scheduled to begin within 12 months from the date of
VA loan closing, the lender must consider the anticipated monthly obligation in the loan
analysis and utilize the payment established in paragraph (1) or (2) below. Calculate each loan
at a rate of 5 percent of the outstanding balance divided by 12 months (example: $25,000
student loan balance x 5% = $1,250 divided by 12 months = $104.17 per month is the monthly
payment for debt ratio purposes).

 (1) The lender must use the payment(s) reported on the credit report for each student loan(s) if
the reported payment is greater than the threshold payment calculation above.
 (2) If the payment reported on the credit report is less than the threshold payment calculation
above, the loan file must contain a statement from the student loan servicer that reflects the
actual loan terms and payment information for each student loan(s). The statement(s) must be
dated within 60 days of VA loan closing and maybe an electronic copy from the student loan
servicer’s website or a printed statement provided by the student loan servicer. It is the
lender’s discretion as to whether the credit report should be supplemented with this information

Tips on getting a Kentucky VA Mortgage Guidelines for Approval

Getting your Louisville Kentucky VA Loan Approval

Run a 25-year loan if you are not getting an approval with a 30-year. Even with
higher ratios, 25-year loans are considered lower risk and can be key to getting
an Approve Eligible
• You can do a VA IRRRL on a property that the veteran no longer lives in
• Payoff debts at closing with seller concessions. When writing the offer, this
information goes in the “under additional provisions or other terms” section
• No seasoning requirement for being added to the title (No flip rule)
• Only type of loan where an SAR Underwriter can adjust the value after a
secondary review in Tidewater with a request from the borrower. That gives us
two chances to increase the value if it comes in under.
• You can have more than one at the same time.
• If the DD-214 is a Dishonorable Discharge, the Veteran can re-apply and get their
benefits reinstated and then buy their home. (Apply to the BCMR to upgrade on
basis of clemency)
• No max loan amount & no max amount of closing costs a seller can pay.
• Time of service requirements can be appealed if they are discharged due to a
service-related disability
• Student loans in deferred status that go by old guidelines can be omitted.
• Disputes do not need to be removed to qualify. This is a good trick if you need a
couple extra points. (Disputing collections)
• Time of service requirements can be appealed if they are discharged due to a
service-related disability.
• LP is generally nicer to VA Loans that have derogatory trade lines
