Does VA allows 100% equity Cash-Out on Refinances for Kentucky VA Mortgages?
Yes is the simple answer, but a lot of VA lenders will only go to 90%, so be careful shopping out there for quotes and qualifying info.
VA allows Kentucky VA Mortgage holders and veterans to finance 100% of the purchase price of a home, but they also allow Kentucky VA Mortgage veterans to take cash-out up to 100% of the value of their home! You are still subject to the funding fee unless disabled, and the cash out maybe limited in hand depending on your credit score.
Cash-Out Refinance up to 100% .Higher Credit Scores may be needed to get cash in hand after paying off existing mortgage. Subject to debt to income limits and acceptable appraisal. VA termite required again.
Min FICO 620 with no bankruptcies or foreclosure last 2 years
Max Loan Amount subject to VA County Loan Limits
0 x 30 days on mortgage in last 12 months
Can pay off existing VA, FHA or conventional mortgage (Note there MUST BE an existing lien against the property)
Must be first lien and owner occupied by the Veteran applicant. (Note: Property may NOT be owned free & clear)
Owner-occupancy cert is required
Properties listed for sale in the previous 6 months, prior to the date of the application (& appraisal) are not eligible
This web site is not the FHA, VA, USDA, HUD or any other government organization responsible for managing, insuring, regulating or issuing residential mortgage loans.
Kentucky VA loans are available to veterans of the United States Armed Forces, including those who are on active duty or reserve, as well as widows or widowers of veterans. There are also special circumstances under which spouses of veterans can also apply for eligibility.
Keep in mind, you’ll need to provide a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) in order to prove you are entitled to receive VA financing. Visit the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs website to learn how to obtain a COE. Your lender can also help you obtain a COE based on your unique circumstances.
What benefits do Kentucky VA Loans offer veterans?
Kentucky VA loan program comes with special advantages other mortgage loan products don’t have. Here are just a few benefits of Kentucky VA loans:
Flexible qualifying and credit requirements
Lower interest rates
Zero down payment
No private monthly mortgage insurance (PMI)
Property tax exemptions
There are even grants that allow disabled veterans to make modifications to their home. Another important benefit to point out includes the ability to finance a substantial portion of the closing costs associated with purchasing a home.
In order to get you pre-approved, I will need the following items from you. This is a free process and I will give you a copy of your credit report for free.

For Kentucky Veterans looking to refinance their existing Ky VA loans, I can help! I’d be happy to go over our VANA feature, as well as our improved VA program.
BANKRUPTCY
Chapter 7 Two years from discharge date; evidence the applicants have demonstrated ability to handle their credit affairs; and that applicants have re-established acceptable credit (or chosen not to incur new credit). Discharged less than two (2) years – NOT eligible.
Chapter 13 A satisfactory performance history for one year of the pay-out period and MUST be discharged.
FORECLOSURE/DEED-IN-LIEU
If occurred in past three years, applicant is ineligible.
TAX LIENS
All federal tax liens will be required to be paid in full prior to the loan closing.
CAIVRS
CAIVRS is a HUD-maintained computer information system which enables lenders to learn when an applicant has previously defaulted on a federally-assisted loan. The system’s interactive voice response function provides instant credit information.
A CAIVRS screening on each veteran and any co-obligor is required. An applicant cannot be considered a satisfactory credit risk if he or she is presently delinquent or in default on any debt to the federal government until the delinquent account has been brought current or satisfactory arrangements have been made between the veteran and the federal agency.
Student Loans
If student loan repayments are scheduled to begin within 12 months of the date of VA loan closing, lenders should consider the anticipated monthly obligation in the loan analysis. If the borrower is able to provide evidence that the debt may be deferred for a period outside that timeframe, the debt need not be considered in the analysis.
Interested-Party Contributions/Property Seller Concessions
A maximum of 4% of the value of the property as indicated on the Notice of Value (NOV) may be contributed from an interested party (property seller concession).
Any property seller concession or combination of concessions which exceeds 4% of the established reasonable value of the property is considered excessive and unacceptable for VA-guaranteed loans. A reduction of the sales price in the amount equal to the excess is required in these instances.
Property seller concessions include, but are not limited to, the following: Payment of the VA funding fee Prepayment of the veteran’s property taxes and insurance Gifts such as a television set or microwave oven Payment of additional discount points to provide permanent interest rate buydowns Provision of escrowed funds to provide temporary interest rate buydowns Payoff of credit balances or judgments on behalf of the veteran
Property seller concessions do not include: Payment of the veteran’s closing costs Payment of points as appropriate to the market
o For example: if the market dictates an interest rate of 7.50 with two discount points, the property seller’s payment of the two points would not be a property seller concession. If the property seller paid five points, three of these points would be considered a property seller concession.

It appears that today’s government shutdown has had very little impact on most loan programs so far, with the exception of Kentucky Rural Housing Loans for USDA.The USDA website and GUS are currently unavailable. Their underwriters and the call centers are also not available.Therefore, until further notice, USDA loan applications that have not yet received a firm commitment from Rural Development and have yet to receive a clear to close will not be allowed to close. Until further notice, we will not issue any commitments on USDA applications but will continue to accept USDA applications and will process them as best we can.This situation is very fluid. We will have more guidance as more information becomes available.
