You should be able to find a lender just about anywhere in GA that would be willing to help you. There shouldn't be any need to go with a private money lender (if that is what you were referring to) unless you haven't re-established your credit or have continued to have poor credit. If that is the case then you would most likely need to be no higher then 60% LTV and expect to pay high fees. If you have a credit score above 620-640 and do not have any active judgements or tax liens against you then you should be able to qualify for an FHA. With an FHA loan the property that you want to purchase must pass an FHA appraisal.
Because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will not allow for the purchase of a loan where the borrower had a foreclosure in the last 3 years, it is unlikely that you will find a lender willing to touch you and give you a 30 year fixed rate loan at current rates. I know of NO traditional lenders willing to lend in this arena (30 fixed at 4% or better). FHA requires 3 years as well. A hard money lender is an industry term for a lender that lends their own money, but does so on "hard" terms. Terms like 40% equity, 12% annual interest, etc. Nothing like the 3.5% 30 year fixed you could get if you didn't have the foreclosure. As you have experienced, you can't find someone to grant you a loan until three years, but still some are telling you: "You don't have to wait". Good luck with that. Spend your time getting your credit back in shape and upon completion of your "penalty period", you will be ready to go. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ www.LoansA2z.com ~ 888-889-9950
