VA only requires a two year wait period and the re-establishment of credit and adequate eligibility. It can be more complicated if the loan on the property short-sold was a VA loan. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Licensed in California and Arizona ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950

VA requires at least 2 years from finalization of short sale

If it has been 2 years I'd be happy to help you. Make sure you also have re-established credit and have a decent (640 or higher is much easier to get approved). Also, if the last loan was also VA make sure you have sufficient entitlement left to buy another home using VA financing.

PS roughly the same as FHA, but potentially a bit less restrictive - FHA is much more difficult if less than 3 years.
