<h2>Kentucky First-Time Homebuyer FAQs</h2>
<details open><summary>What credit score is needed to qualify?</summary>
<p>Most lenders want a 620–640 middle score for zero-down programs (USDA or KHC). FHA allows 580 with 3.5 % down. VA often requires 620 +, but rapid rescore can help.</p>
</details>
<details><summary>Does it cost to get pre-approved?</summary>
<p>Pre-approvals are usually free, though a credit report fee of around $50 may apply.</p>
</details>
<details><summary>How long does a pre-approval take?</summary>
<p>With documents ready, AUS findings (Desktop Underwriter or GUS) often return within 24 hours.</p>
</details>
<details><summary>Which programs offer no money down?</summary>
<p>USDA and VA offer true zero-down options. KHC assistance and city grants can also cover down payment for FHA or Conventional loans.</p>
</details>
<details><summary>When can I lock my interest rate?</summary>
<p>After you have a signed contract on a property. Most lenders allow a 60–90 day lock with extensions available.</p>
</details>
<details><summary>How much do I need for closing costs?</summary>
<p>Plan for earnest money (~$500), appraisal ($500–650), optional inspection ($300–400), and termite report ($50 for VA). Seller/lender credits can offset these costs.</p>
