foreclosure wait period

The waiting period for all loan products start from the time the home is transferred out of your name, not the day you move out.. This is a key point, since some lenders can take up to 2 years to foreclose even after you move out, so the lender will verify by looking at the chain of title.. The clock start when it's been sold at sale and taken out of your name.. for FHA it's 3 years, For VA it's 2 years, For conventional it's A minimum of 3 years with 20% down or 7 years, and for USDA it's 3 years.

William has given you a very good answer...2-3 years from the date the property transferred to a new owner is standard.

Often times the home is transfered back to the bank / lender prior to it being truely foreclosed or sold. I'm a lender in Indiana and I know we look at the earliest date that the foreclosed home is transferred out of the borrowers name.

Depending upon the circumstances leading up to the foreclosure, you can be eligible after 1 year with FHA and 18 mos for a conventional loan. If the loan foreclosed on was a FHA loan, you may need to wait 3 years from the date of the claim paid by FHA. They keep a record in a government database of gov't loan delinquency/defaults. The only way to check that date is to have a lender check for you in 'FHA Connection'. If there was a bankruptcy involved, the waiting period 'clock' starts ticking at the discharge date. Hope this helps.
