How long after a foreclosure do I have to wait to get a loan?

Most lenders who offer FHA financing will say 3 years is the mandatory waiting period. In the past two years numerous portfolio products have become available that allow for approval without a waiting period after foreclosure. These programs will generally be offered with a higher rate (6-7.5%) and require a 10-20% down payment.I am a licensed mortgage broker in the state of FL and would be glad to assist you.

When talking about "Conforming" loans... (FHA, VA, USDA, Conventional)There guidelines are different for each one.. FHA has the "Back to Work" program, where you can purchase a home 12 months out of Foreclosure. The guidelines are very strict, but so long as you meet the eligibility requirements, there is a loan for you with only 3.5% down. Otherwise, FHA is 3 years. VA is 2 years, but you must have VA eligibility.. Also, not every lender will go by the 2 year waiting period.. some will make you wait 3 years. USDA is 3 years and for conventional, its 7 years. There are also portfolio loan products which will allow you to buy now with no waiting period, but the rates are much higher and you will need a minimum of 20% down, if not more.. Also understand that the waiting period starts when the property actually foreclosed.. not when the lender started their action..

Mandatory Min Wait Periods Are;Conventional - 7 YRSFHA - 3 YRS (2 YRS with extenuating circumstances and 1 YR with FHA's "Back to Work" Program)VA - 2 YRS (1 YR with extenuating circumstances)*Back to Work program requires proof of lost income/wages (non-self-employment) greater than 20% the year leading up to the foreclosure process starting.Also, if the foreclosure was due to a divorce and the spouse was awarded the property and financial responsibility of the property and ultimately foreclosed after the divorce was finalized, there is no waiting period at all. The home loan must have been current prior to the divorce though.
