Kentucky Mortgage VA Guidelines for Income.

Generally, Overtime, Part-Time, Second Jobs, and Bonuses cannot be considered stable and reliable unless it has continued and been verified for 2 years.
However, Kentucky VA guidelines allow the lender to offset debt of 6-24 months in duration with this income.

Reference: VA Handbook – Chapter 4 – Section 2(h)
“The lender may use this income, if not eligible for inclusion in income, but verified for at least 12 months, to offset debts of 6 to 24 months duration. An explanation of why the income was used to offset must be documented.”

This little-known secret in the guidelines could help your borrower qualify by reducing the debt included in their qualifying ratio!
