Electronic Document Upload - Mandatory August 3, 2015 

Due to the successful switch to a paperless system, effective Monday, August 3, 2015, Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) will require all lenders to upload their new files electronically.  

 

The electronic checklists of required documents and a Electronic Document Upload PowerPoint are located on KHC's website, under Lender, Lender Resources, Training.

   

Tips for Success  

  • When uploading into KHC's system, please do not use any special characters in the file name. Numbers and letters are accepted, but no special characters.
  • When uploading an initial underwriting package, upload the appraisal as a separate PDF into the Appraisal Task. Once the file has been underwritten, if the loan has been pended for conditions including the appraisal, then upload all conditions including the appraisal into the Pend Condition Task.
  • The Security Document Task has been removed from the Electronic Document Upload System. The Security Documents must be originals and are required to be mailed to KHC's Single-Family Closing and Quality Review Team, 1231 Louisville Road, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Single-Family Programs toll-free in Kentucky at 800-633-8896 or 502-564-7630, extension 291.   

DAP Loans - Mandatory Funding by Correspondent and Delegated Lenders  

Effective immediately, KHC will no longer fund the DAPs for Delegated and Correspondent lenders. If you have questions, please contact Single-Family Programs toll-free in Kentucky at 800-633-8896 or 502-564-7630, extension 291.   

Underwriting Expectations 

KHC wants to thank our lender partners for all the loan business! Due to extremely high volume, KHC's underwriting turn times are 10 days for the initial file review. Please keep this in mind as you plan for month-end peak closing times and continue to communicate with your borrower in regards to the underwriting time frame.
