Good Morning!
If you ask a loan officer how long you have to wait after a foreclosure to get an FHA loan they will tell you three years.
Three years is the standard seasoning period for a foreclosure before you can get an FHA loan.
However, three years isn’t always true. …It can be less.
If you did deeper into the FHA guidelines it does allow for a person to get a mortgage with less than three years of seasoning. …in certain circumstances.
I pulled this paragraph right out of the FHA handbook. It describes under what circumstances the circumstances that you could get a mortgage with less than three years of seasoning…
A borrower whose previous principal residence or other real property was foreclosed or has given a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure within the previous three years is generally not eligible for a new FHA-insured mortgage. However, if the foreclosure was the result of documented extenuating circumstances that were beyond the control of the borrower and the borrower has re-established good credit since the foreclosure, the lender may grant an exception to the three-year October 2003 2-6 4155.1 REV-5
requirement. Extenuating circumstances include serious illness or death of a wage earner, but do not include the inability to sell the house because of a job transfer or relocation to another area.
