VA Loan Updates for 2021




Kentucky VA loans make home ownership affordable for active servicemen and women, veterans and reservists even if the borrower has only been in active service for 90 days. We offer Jumbo VA loans up to 2 million. VA loans often enable borrowers to buy with no money down* and feature competitive rates and fees.

FUNDING FEE WAIVED FOR PURPLE HEART RECIPIENTS

Since VA Loan Funding Fees are 2.3% to 3.5% of the loan, this could save thousands! Veterans with disabilities and surviving spouses may also qualify to have their Funding Fee waived.
Our customers deserve to be rewarded for their service.

New Kentucky VA Mortgage Funding Fee Percentages for 2020


Kentucky VA Funding Changes for 2020

Effective on all Kentucky VA Mortgage  loans closed on or after January 1, 2020
The VA Home Mortgage program has amended funding fee percentages for all Kentucky Veterans (including Regular Military, Reserves, and National Guard) for loans closed on or after January 1, 2020 and before January 1, 2022.
2020 Kentucky VA Funding Fee Table For Mortgage Loans
As indicated above, the funding fee will no longer be determined by Regular Military, Reserves or National Guard status. Therefore, based on the Kentucky Veteran’s individual scenario, the funding fee may increase or decrease on or after January 1, 2020.


The Kentucky VA funding fee you pay in 2020 will depend on your down payment amount and whether you’ve ever had a VA-backed loan before. If you haven’t, it’s a “first use” loan, and if you have, it’s a “subsequent use” loan. You can pay the fee upfront or roll the cost into the loan.
The fee for first-use, zero-down loans will be 2.3% of the loan amount in 2020, up from 2.15% for regular military in 2019. The fee for subsequent use loans will be 3.6% of the loan amount, up from the current 3.3%. These fees will stay in place for two years, return to current levels from 2022 to October 2029 and drop further after that.

Kentucky VA Cash-Out Refinances

Kentucky VA Cash-Out Refinances


Kentucky VA Cash-Out Refinances
Net Tangible Benefit (NTB)

  • NTB standards apply to all cash-out refinancing loans.
  • The NTB consists of the NTB Test, Loan Comparison Disclosure, and the Home Equity Disclosure

NTB Test for Cash-Outs

All cash-out refinancing loans must pass the NTB test. The requirement is met if the refinancing loan satisfies one of the following:
  • The new loan eliminates monthly mortgage insurance; or
  • The loan term of the new loan is less than the loan term of the loan being refinanced; or
  • The interest rate of the new loan is less than the interest rate of the loan being refinanced; or
  • The monthly (principal and interest) payment of the new loan is less than the monthly payment of the loan being refinanced; or
  • The monthly residual income is higher as a result of the new loan; or
  • The new loan is used to payoff the interim construction loan; or
  • The new loan LTV is equal to or less than 90 percent of the reasonable value of the home; or
  • Refinance of an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed rate mortgage

Loan Comparison Disclosure

  • The lender must disclose to the borrower a comparison of the new loan to the existing loan being refinanced.
  • VA requires lenders to generate two loan comparison disclosures
  • One within three (3) business days of the initial loan application
  • One at closing
  • The borrower must certify receipt of both disclosures
  • The Initial 3-Day Disclosure requires lenders to provide a reasonably accurate estimate within three (3) business days of the application
  • The Final Loan Closing Disclosure “shall be accurate with respect to the new loan info, while the initial loan info may be a ‘generally accurate representation’ of the existing loan.”
  • Contents of the Initial 3-Day and Closing Disclosures include: refinancing loan amount v. payoff amount of refinanced loan; interest rate of each loan; mortgage loan type of each loan; term of each loan;total payments on each loan; and LTV of new loan v. loan payoff to current value of loan being refinanced

Home Equity Disclosure

  • Discloses the amount of equity being withdrawn, with explanation how removal of equity may affect the sale or refinance of the home in the future.
  • For initial equity disclosure, the lender may use estimated loan payoff or unpaid principal balance and estimated current property value to determine equity being removed.
  • For final disclosure at closing, lender must use final payoff amount and reasonable value shown on the Notice of Value.

Net Tangible Benefit for IRRRL’s

  • INTEREST RATES
  • If the loan is fixed rate to fixed rate then the new loan rate must be at least 50 basis points better than the loan being refinanced.
  • If it is a fixed rate to ARM then the new rate must be at least 200 basis points better than the loan being refinanced.
  • DISCOUNT POINTS
  • The lower interest rate cannot be produced solely from discount points unless: Points are paid at closing;
- VA IRRRL’s with discount points require an exterior only appraisal to establish the LTV
