The fact is simple…

If you had a foreclosure or lost your home to a short sale you are definitely NOT in a boat all by yourself.

Until very recently getting a home loan after one of these stressful housing events was almost impossible.  Getting a Jumbo Loan to buy real estate was almost unheard of as banks were not willing to take the risk on such a borrower until just recently.

WAIT TIME TO GET A LOAN AFTER A SHORT SALE FORECLOSURE OR BANKRUPTCY 2015 CONVENTIONAL AND FHA RULES

In 2014 there were some rules and guidelines created for wait times after going through one of these financial pitfalls.

UPDATED FEB 2014: Wait times for foreclosures, short sales, bankruptcies (Chapter 7 & 13), loan modifications, and deed in lieu:

Wait Time after Foreclosures ON CONVENTIONAL AND FHA MORTGAGES

  • 12 months (FHA Back-to-Work)

  • 36 months (FHA, VA, and USDA)

  • 36 months (Conventional with extenuating circumstances)

  • 84 months (Conventional without extenuating circumstances)

Wait Time after Short Sales:

The minimum wait varies based on the loan-to-value of the new mortgage and if the buyer was delinquent at time of sale.

  • 24 months (Conventional with extenuating circumstances)

  • 36 months (FHA, USDA, and VA if borrower was delinquent at time of transfer)

  • 48 months (Conventional without extenuating circumstances)

These wait time seem quite extensive for Conventional and FHA loans.  However we can offer loans up to 2 million with no wait after a short sale with our portfolio lending programs.

    Can you do loans for houses in Arizona?

  2. Glad you found it helpful Mel. We can help with FHA loans too. The loan after short sale tends to be a bit more expensive than some of the other programs so it is a niche fit for most consumers.

  3. I can’t really quote specific rates on the blog since they are customized to your individual credit profile. These rates tend to be anywhere from 2 to 4% higher than normal conventional rates depending on loan to value ratios and overall credit.

    I hope that helps. Give me a call if you have questions.

  4. Yes we can. Do you still need help?
