If the foreclosure was reported within the seven-year period prior to the credit report date, you will not be eligible for the HomePath program. If not within that 7 year period you should be alright.

HomePath is a conventional loan product and guidelines state you cannot have a foreclosure in the past 7 years.. however, If the foreclosure was 1 to 3 years ago, then you might be able to use FHA to purchase a HomePath home, or any home for that matter.. but you will pay mortgage insurance and will need 3.5% down payment, and you would be subject to the FHA loan limits for your county..

Consider FHA, if the foreclosure shows on your credit report.
