Can you use Foster Income for a Kentucky Mortgage Loan Approval?

 Foster Income for a Kentucky Mortgage 



Yes, if it can be documented that foster care income has been received for the last 2 years that income is likely to continue for at least 3 years from the date of the Note, then it can be used to qualify.  If it can be verified that income is not taxable, it can be grossed up per 4000.1 II.A.4.c.xii.(P) or II.A.5.b.xii.(P) by either borrower's actual tax rate or 115% whichever is lower.



Yes, we need to show 24 moths receipt of this income, possible exception if only received for 12 months, and we would need something from the agency showing this will continue for 3 years.

Foster-Care Income for a Mortgage Loan Approval


What are the guidelines?


Income received from a state- or county-sponsored organization for providing temporary care for one or more children may be considered acceptable stable income if the following requirements are met.
Verification of Foster-Care Income
Verify the foster-care income with letters of verification from the organizations providing the income.
Document that the borrower has a two-year history of providing foster-care services. If the borrower has not been receiving this type of income for two full years, the income may still be counted as stable income if
  • the borrower has at least a 12-month history of providing foster-care services, and
  • the income does not represent more than 30% of the total gross income that is used to qualify for the mortgage loan.
