The VA has a 2 year wait period from the date the completed foreclosure. So you are close to that. You can most likely get a new loan started with a local mortgage loan originator, and close after the 2 year wait period is up. Your lender can help you work with any restoration of benefits if needed. I think you are good to apply and see about working through this.
2 years from the discharge date of your previous foreclosure you are eligible to reapply again for the new VA mortgage.
When you have a major negative event like a foreclosure, you have a minimum waiting period (I call it the penalty box) before you can get a new loan. The waiting period is based on the NEW loan you are trying to get. The VA waiting period is just two-years, BUT if the previous foreclosure was a VA, you will NOT get a new VA loan if the VA actually paid out a loss to your old lender. The only way to get a new VA loan with a loss on an old VA loan is to pay back the loss on the old VA loan. For VA loans in MN, WI, or SD, visit me at www.VA-IRRRL-LOAN-MN.com
More info needed, but in general, there is a 2 year waiting period for VA, but lenders might make you wait up to 3 years, but there's also going to be an issue with your VA entitlement.. Typically, you can purchase using VA up to $417K with zero down.. if your foreclosed VA loan was a $300K loan, then you would only be able to use VA for a $117K Loan($417K-$300K=$117K).. The purchase price can be greater than $117K in this scenario, it's just that you have to put 25% down for every dollar above $117K. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.
