What is the waiting period currently for a deed in lieu?

It depends on the type of loan your applying for.. with Conventional financing, you have to wait 4 years.. With VA (must have VA eligibility) it's 2 years, with USDA, it's 3 years.. and for FHA, there's 2 different scenarios.. one allows you to purchase in 12 months, and the other scenario mandates a 3 year wait.. to see what your waiting period would be, i suggest you contact a LOCAL mortgage broker and apply with them. Once they see your complete loan profile, they will be better equipped to advise you properly. Also, by applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with many lenders with each one offering a different type of lending program. This is unlike the local bank which typically only has a few lending programs. The more lenders, the more lending options, and the more likely your scenario will be accepted.. Plus, the broker is experienced in seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario, and he has lower overhead which typically results in lower rates and fees than most of the larger lenders..
