How To Get A VA Loan If You Have Had A Foreclosure, Or Bankruptcy…

Good Morning!

I hope you’re having a good week so far!

I want to go over the VA guidelines for Foreclosure, and Bankruptcy.

Here ya go…

VA
Short Sale
Deed-In-Lieu of Foreclosure
Foreclosure
2 years from completion date
If extenuating circumstances exist – 12 months from completion date with re-established credit
Note: If the occurrence was on a VA loan, the veteran may not have full entitlement available for the new loan
Jumbo: 7 years from completion date
Bankruptcy:
Chapter 7 or 11
2 years from discharge or dismissal date
Note: If bankruptcy was result of a business failure, provide evidence that;
  • Applicant obtained permanent position after business failure
  • No derogatory credit prior to self employment
  • No derogatory credit subsequent to bankruptcy

Jumbo: 7 years from dismissal or discharge date
If extenuating circumstances exist – 12 months from discharge or dismissal date with re-established credit

Bankruptcy:
Chapter 13
2 years from discharge or dismissal date
A minimum of 12 months of payments have been made, all payments have been paid satisfactorily and Trustee or Bankruptcy Judge has approved
Jumbo: 7 years from dismissal or discharge date

 

That’s it for today.

Thanks for reading!
