VA backed mortgage after short sale and/or deed in lieu?

We are selling our house in a short sale. Our present mortgage is a conventional, and my husband has a clear entitlement to a VA backed mortgage. How soon can we qualify for a VA mortgage? by dulcinea.christine from Port St Lucie, Florida. Mar 5th 2011 Reply

It usually 2-3 years after a short-sale that you can get a Government insured mortgage loan.

There is a higher VA fee for subsequence use of your VA eligibility. But once the transaction of the sale is done you should be able to use your VA benefit. I would contact VA to get your VA eligibility benefit request.
