Buying a House After Foreclosure, Short Sale, & Bankruptcy

Believe it or not we are already starting to see buyers who have met their waiting period time frames and are getting close to buying a house after a foreclosure, short sale, or bankruptcy. Many people think they have to wait 7-10 years and their is a lot of rumors and miss-information circling around. Knowing what their individual waiting periods are can be liberating.

The wiating period time frame following a foreclosure, short sale, and bankruptcy is based on their completion date of their unfortunate event.

To read last weeks update which broke down each situation and the waiting period for a FHA Loan, VA Loan, Conventional and more, just click here for waiting period update.

I have also launched a helpful and informative website to educate borrowers about their waiting periods and how we can work together during their waiting period to have them ready when their individual time frames are up.
