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.
