Theoretically, Kentucky USDA Loans are not credit score driven. Borrowers with no credit scores are even eligible for this loan program.

However, most investors that fund USDA Loans want to see a minimum middle credit score of 620. A 640 middle credit score is preferred, since this is the minimum credit score required for a USDA loan to receive an automated underwriting approval through the USDA Guaranteed Underwriting System or GUS.

Better yet, a borrower with a 680 middle credit score, can obtain a "credit waiver" on all minor derogatory credit items, such as late payments on the credit report and small collection accounts. Borrowers with major credit issues such as bankruptcies, short sales, or foreclosures within the last three years will not be eligible for a USDA Loan regardless of the credit score.

If a borrower has a middle credit score less than 640, the loan request will be manually underwritten. As long as the borrower meets a more rigorous approval process, they still may be eligible for a USDA Loan. Borrowers with a middle credit score less than 640 or have a GUS "Refer" approval will need to ensure that:

Total debt-to-income ratio for their housing expense cannot exceed 29% of the borrower's gross income, and total debt load including the housing expense cannot 41% of the borrower's gross income or 29%/41%. If the borrower's middle credit score is 680 or higher the debt-to-income ratio can be as high as 32%/44%
Minimal credit card late payments within the last 12 months
No accounts placed in collections status within the last 12 months
All judgment must be paid off for at least 12 months
Verification of rent or "rent free" letter required

Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion will no longer provide information regarding civil judgments and tax liens on reports as of July 1, 2017.

New Credit Report Changes Coming Soon for Kentucky Rural Housing Mortgage USDA Loans and Fico Scores for 2017

In an effort to make credit reports more accurate, all three credit reporting agencies of Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion will no longer provide information regarding civil judgments and tax liens on reports as of July 1, 2017. The impact to credit scores is anticipated to be minimal. There are no changes to the current reporting of foreclosure and bankruptcy data.

There will be no updates to HB-1-3555 and the following will continue to apply for Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loans:

Lenders must secure a marketable first lien as required in 7 CFR Part 3555, 3555.204 and HB-1-3555 Chapter 16.
USDA’s current policy regarding judgments and tax liens in 3555.151(i)(5) and HB-1-3555 Chapter 10: 10.10 and Attachment 10-B will apply.
If a lender identifies a judgment or tax lien for a GUS “Accept” loan file, the manual entry of the debt on the “Assets and Liabilities” application page will not require the file to be downgraded. The GUS “Accept” recommendation remains valid and the lender must appropriately underwrite the loan file under the requirements of 7 CFR 3555 and HB-1-3555.

USDA will continue to monitor the performance of guaranteed loans to determine if any future policy changes may be necessary.

Kentucky USDA Rural Housing Mortgage Loan Officer Expert..

I have helped over 1300 Kentucky families buy or refinance their home over the last 18 years. Realizing that this is one of the biggest, most important financial transactions a family makes during their lifetime, I always feel honored and respected when I am chosen to originate their personal home loan. You can count on me to deliver on what I say, and I will always give you honest, up-front personal attention you deserve during the loan process.

I have several advantages over the large banks in town. First, I can search and negotiate for your loan options through several different mortgage companies across the country to get you a competitive priced loan locally. Whereas most banks will offer offer you their one set of loan products. I have access to over 15 different mortgage companies to broker your loan through to get you competitive pricing and loan products that may not fit into the bank's program due to credit, income, or other underwriting issues.

You will not get lost in the shuffle like most borrowers do at the mega banks; you're just not a number at our company, you are a person and we will treat you like one throughout the entire process.

Give us a try or let us compare your options on your next mortgage transaction. Call/text me locally at 502-905-3708. Free Mortgage Pre-Qualifications same day on most applications.

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.

Angela Forsythe

"We were searching online for mortgage companies in Louisville, Ky locally to deal with and found Joel's website, and it was a godsend. He was great to work with, and delivered on everything he said he would do. I ended up referring my co-worker at UPS, and she was very pleased with his service and rates too. Would definitely vouch for him." September 2016

Monica Leinhardt

"We contacted Joel back in July 2011 to refinance our Mortgage and he was great to work with. We contacted several lenders locally and online, and most where taking almost 60 days to close a refinance, Joel got it done in 23 days start to finish,I would definetly recommmend him. He got us 3.75% with just $900 in closing costs on our FHA Streamline loan.

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.

😃

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 April, 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!

Wow, what a great loan officer. I was referred to him by our agent and he was great to work with. We used him for a USDA no money down loan in Shelby County and we were really impressed. We were afraid we could not buy a home since we did not have money saved for a down payment, but Joe l was able to get us a zero down loan and we even got our appraisal fee and good faith deposit back at closing. We actually got money back at closing!!! I Can't think him enough. Our family moved from our apartment in the south end of town to get our own home with 5 acres for our kids and 2 dogs, at a payment that is equal to our rent payment also. .Thanks Again Joel. May god bless you

We contacted Joel about buying a house on our move from Ohio for my husband's job transfer with Ford. We put a lot of trust in him since we were new to the area and first time home buyers in the Louisville KY market, and he always delivered on what he said. It took us a while to find a home due to the lack of homes, but once we got one, he was always quick to respond our questions via text or email ,and kept us informed through the process. We got to meet him at the closing and he was super nice and even got us a closing gift for our home which we didn't expect at all. Super nice guy 😀!!! I would definitely recommend him for a local Home loan in the Louisville area.

I got a VA loan with Joel and he was great. He is an ex-army guy so he could relate to my past experiences of being a veteran and moving around the country a lot. I had some credit issues that required a little extra work but Joel was able to find A VA lender to approve my situation as far as having past bad credit problems and a lower credit score. We closed yesterday on our home here in Louisville and we could not be happier. We finally have a home of our own thanks to Joel . I would definitely recommend him for a mortgage loan. Great experience and closed 8 days before expected close date so we were able to move in early.

I contacted Joel about the $10,000 KY Housing Grant last month and we were able to get it and I just closed on my home. He was great to work with and if you are a first time home buyer here in Louisville, I would definitely contact him. I met him at his office and he was very nice and knowledgeable and kept me informed through the process. No surprises either so I was very happy. I am new homeowner thanks to Joel .
