I LOST MY HOME IN MY DIVORCE. I HAD FILED THE PAPERS FOR A DEED IN LIEU OF FORECLOSURE BUT MY SOON TO BE EX DID NOT. THEREFORE THE BANK FORECLOSED ON THE HOME. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST THREE YEARS NOW AND I WOULD LIKE TO BUY A NEW HOME. IS THIS POSSIBLE?? by lasuns_479_416 from Spencer, Indiana. Feb 12th 2012
The general answer is you must wait a minimum of three years. But, in a divorce, if all the late payments and the actual foreclosure can be documented to have happened AFTER the date the divorce was final, most lenders will disregard the foreclosure and you can apply today. If you qualify for a VA loan, lenders will look at you after two years. www.minneapolis-mortgage.net
As many have already referenced, 3 years is the standard waiting period for a foreclosure in order for you to apply for an FHA Insured Home Loan. What that really means is that it is 3 years from the date either the bank took back the home or was sold to another buyer. 3 years from foreclosure does not mean from the file date. The key to any derogatory credit item is documentation...documentation...documentation. Make sure to have all your paperwork ready for the home loan process.

The real answer is yes, once it's been 3 years minimum from foreclosure completion. Must also qualify based upon credit/assets/income -- the normal stuff. It's not too soon to find out exactly where you stand -- to take the right steps as soon as you can. The worst thing you could do is put trust in someone that does not know the rules and proper steps...
3 years for FHA, but you must have re established credit and have sufficient scores.. contact a local mortgage broker, not a bank, and apply with them... they have access to numerous lenders and can find the right one for your particular scenario... WilliamAcres.com
Yes, it is possible. Being almost 3 years from the date the foreclosure, you are nearly ready. Connect with a local Mortgage Banker/Broker to make sure your credit is loan ready. Use a Mortgage Banker/Broker rather than one of the big banks. Unlike a bank employee, who is most likely just an order taker, a Mortgage Broker/Banker is Trained, Tested and Licensed in all aspects of Mortgage Origination. He/She will have access to loan products of many lenders, not just those of one bank, and can properly guide you. But more importantly, He/She is trained to take a look at the various different options available to you and guide you into the one that makes the best sense for your situation.
