Kevin,Good afternoon. You can refinance 3 years after a foreclosure with a FHA or VA (2 years) loan. You cannot refinance 3 years after a foreclosure with conventional financing. The waiting period for conventional financing is 7 years. Please let me know if you have any questions.Mike GeorgeAgape Mortgage(661) 324-2427

FHA will allow a refinance after a foreclosure after 3 years. The BK will more than likely have a affect on your credit score and therefore may affect the rate.

FHA allows you to refinance 3 years past foreclosure, but conventional will require a 7 year waiting period.. The rate will be based off your credit score, but for FHA financing, there is not a major difference in rates for a 750 borrower vs. a 650 borrower.. but to answer your question, there are no pricing hits for borrowers with a BK.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. William J.

Was it a bankruptcy and a foreclosure both, or just the foreclosure? The rate will be based on your credit score and that is likely still being affected by the foreclosure and/or BK.

Yes and maybe. Depends on the type of home financing, credit score, down payment and other factors.
