True, on a conventional loan but you can do a new FHA loan after 3 years.

Aaron is correct. If you want to go FHA after 3 years, that is an option assuming there is nothing else in the way of the finance. If you wanted to do Alt-A product, you can finance now,....but it requires a larger down payment.

Conventional guidelines just changed in August... prior to that, you would need to wait 2 years with 20% down.. now you must wait 4 years and would require 5% down.. For FHA, it's 3 years, and 3.5% down, however with FHA, there are exceptions to the rule.. Back to Work program allows you to purchase 12 months after, and there's another program that allows you to purchase immediately after a short sale.. to see if you qualify for any of these acceptations , try contacting a local mortgage broker and let him look at your complete loan scenario.. once he has all the information, he can properly advise you..

The waiting period varies depending in what type of loan you are qualifying for. For an FHA Loan it can be a 1 day, 1 year or 3 year waiting period depending on if there are late payments and/or extenuating circumstances. If you're looking to do financing with a VA Loan, the waiting period is only 2 years. The best advice I could ggive is to speak to a knowledgeable lender that will assist you in reviewing all of your options.

If you can do 30% down, there are options.

If you are going conventional the wait is 4 years. For VA it is 2 years. If you are going FHA the wait is 3 years, unless you qualify for the "BACK TO WORK" program and can show you had a detrimental loss that caused the short sale. You also have the option of putting 20% down and doing a portfolio program that we offer 1 day out short sale, BK or foreclosure. Let's discuss your loan scenario in more detail.
