Can I refinance with a foreclosure 3-4 years ago?

Since Jumbo loans are a "Non-Conforming" type loan product, then there are no set rules.... each lender offering jumbo financing can make up their own rules and guidelines... that being said, most don't like short sales and foreclosures... and 690 is a low score, so expect some difficulty finding a lender willing to do your scenario.. if you only had one foreclosure/short-sale, then you might find someone, but with multiple major derogatory and low credit score, it's not going to be easy.. .. 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. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com

On the conventional side you can at the 4yr mark, with the loan amount size lenders may have their own risk overlays that will want either a longer time frame after the BK or a Higher Fico with at least a 700. On an FHA loan there is only a 2 year waiting period but then you will be limited on loan amount size for your county. It is a very doable loan but you'll just need to find a lender that will be able to meet your parameters with the Fico being the biggest hurdle for you. If you are told No with one lender then look for another and DEFINITELY talk to a Lender411 Loan Officer.

Max loan amount would be $975,000 @ the value stated, the issue is your current credit score as we require 720 (most lenders that do not have the foreclosure overlay will require the same). We need to work on the credit score increase, once that is done you should be fine. Send me an e-mail if you want to discuss further: carlos@keypointmtg.com

I have some programs that can go to 60-70% loan to value depending on cash reserves and overall picture. If you think you can make that work give me a call on Monday: P: 888-320-7888 - ken@mortgagesforamerica.org - Ken Burrows

1 million requires a Jumbo program, and those interest rates are usually a little higher then conforming, and you'll be able to check them out when your last foreclosure has 4 years of seasoning. But the Lenders will probably require a higher FICO score, probably at least 720.

Your current jumbo loan at 5% is at historic lows. You may need to improve your credit score to lower the rate.

It doesn't matter how smart the Loan Officer is ... what matters is how the Investors view your risk profile - and they're real tough right now.

I agree, it isn't the loan officer or necesarily the lender involved, it is the standards set by the investor/lender to minimize their risk. Your credit score of 690 is pretty low for a jumbo loan so you need to work on improving it. I have a blog on this site that makes some recommendations, often it is the balance on your credit cards that is bringing the score down

Foreclosures are very bad.

work on improving your FICO score

Just finished reviewing such a situation here in Washington. There is possibility of doing this size loan with a 690/700 credit score, as long as the appraisal comes in so the LTV is at 80% or less. We have offices in California, and I will see what I can do about getting one of our licensed mortgage officers to contact you through this process.

Are loans are harder to get today - especially jumbo loans. Your foreclosure and 690 credit score will present challenges. Contact a local mortgage broker in your area for more assistance.

I get asked this same question at least once per day. I get asked so often that I wrote a blog post with a cheat sheet chart that I refer back to daily. Link: http://landhomenw.com/when-can-i-get-a-mortgage-after-a-foreclosure-short-sale-or-bankruptcy.htm It's important to get the full picture on the scenario too. Many times there are other issues like BK's or shortsales, etc... That chart is really for FHA, Conventional, VA and USDA... Jumbo loans may have a different set of guidelines, as they are considered to be "portfolio" loans and not always subject to regular conventional guidelines. Each jumbo loan investor has different requirements. Some follow the conventional guidelines and others have what we call "guideline overlays". Some require minimum FICO scores of 700+ or 720 FICO for instance. ARM guidelines may also differ from Fixed loan guidelines. Getting lower than 5% on your rate would probably require looking at a Jumbo ARM.
