Home Loans after Short Sale or Foreclosure

CS Financial has access to lenders with loans for borrowers with a short sale or foreclosure in the recent past. Conventional financing for pre-foreclosure events (Notice of Default and Notice of Trustee Sales) requires a 4 year waiting period (unless there are extenuating circumstances that can be proved) before being able to get a conventional loan. For Foreclosure events (short sale and foreclosure) the conventional wait time may be as long as 7 years.
There are now some lenders in the marketplace offering non-conventional financing which does not require a time wait after a short sale, foreclosure or bankruptcy event.  Buyers can actually get a loan one day after such event. There are definitely qualifications that need to be met and they are more stringent than conventional financing. Down payment, Debt to Income Ratios and Terms are different than traditional conventional financing. The cost of the loan is higher, although, for may borrowers, this additional cost is worth it to buy a new home.
