short sale waiting period

Extenuating circumstances are irrelevant...2-3 years from the date the property tranferred unless you were current on the loan for the preceeding 12 months, then you might be able to much sooner.

Trick Question!!! Any where from zero to 3 years... FHA.. Zero waiting period if you had no late payments on the short sale property or any other obligation in the preceding 12 months, and had to relocate because of a job, or getting closer to a sick relative, and you're not taking advantage of the current market conditions.. 3 years other wise... VA, is also Zero waiting period for the same reason as above, or 2 years otherwise. USDA will be 3 years, unless there are "extenuating circumstances" (As defined by USDA, not by the borrower). Conventional will be 2 years minimum, and your down payment will be a minimum of 10% with "extenuating circumstances" (As defined by Fannie/Freddie) or 20% down otherwise. .

If you had not had any late payments, you could have no wait time. Otherwise, standard is 3 years. Best Of Luck!

The reality is no one (the investors, that is) cares what your extenuating circumstances are. If you have even one 30-day late payment leading up to the short sale, your wait is going to be 3 years from the date the escrow closed on the sale. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950

If you pursue an FHA Insured Home Loan, there is NO WAITING PERIOD if you had no late payments on any mortgages and consumer debts within the 12 month period preceding the short sale AND you are not taking advantage of declining market conditions. Otherwise, standard waiting period is 3 years. Acceptable extenuating circumstances could reduce waiting period. FYI: my corporate office is out of Pendleton if you need more guidance.

The standard wait period is 3 years from the settlement date; many different lenders have different positions regarding the overlying qualifications, credit score history and equity position; I broker with over 20 different lenders though and can help put you in a position to succeed.Sean McCrackenWinterwood Mortgage Group317-885-4560 ext 132
