FHA Loans in Kentucky with Foreclosure in the Past:
  • 3 years from transfer date on Commissioner’s or Transfer deed must have elapsed prior to case number assignment date
  • An exception to the 3 year requirement may be granted if the foreclosure was caused by extenuating circumstances beyond the borrower’s control such as a serious illness or death of a wage earner and the borrower has re-established good credit since the foreclosure.  If the exception is granted, the loan must meet all manual underwriting guidelines.
  • Divorce is not an extenuating circumstance however an exception may be granted if the mortgage was current at the time of the borrower’s divorce and the ex-spouse received the property and the mortgage was later foreclosed.
  • Inability to sell the property due to job transfer or relocation is not considered an extenuating circumstance
  • 3 years from transfer of title.   Case number assignment cannot be ordered until the wait period has elapsed
  • Same Extenuating Circumstance criteria as Foreclosures
  • Pre-Foreclosure (Short Sale) exception for Borrower Current at the Time of Short Sale

Kentucky FHA Loan Guidelines for Foreclosure and Short Sale

Kentucky FHA Loan Guidelines After Bankruptcy, Foreclosure, or Short Sale

If you’ve experienced a bankruptcy, foreclosure, or short sale in the past, you may still be able to qualify for a Kentucky FHA loan. Here are the current waiting period guidelines you need to know:

  • Foreclosure: 3-year waiting period from the foreclosure completion date (when the property is transferred back to the lender) as reported on your credit report.
  • Short Sale: 3-year waiting period from the title transfer date.
  • Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: 2-year waiting period from the discharge date. Note: If a property was surrendered in the Chapter 7 bankruptcy, it may be treated as a foreclosure, which could extend the waiting period.
  • Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: 1-year wait with a scheduled payment plan, provided the liabilities are factored into your debt-to-income ratio and bankruptcy court approval is obtained — OR 2 years from the discharge date.

Don’t Let a Short Sale Keep You From a New Mortgage | Consumer Information

Don’t Let a Short Sale Keep You From a New Mortgage | Consumer Information.

If you negotiated a short sale of your home, you may be surprised to learn that some mortgage loan underwriting systems can’t distinguish short sales from foreclosures on consumer reports. And that may keep or delay you from getting a new mortgage.

You see, borrowers who go through a foreclosure typically have to wait seven years before they’re eligible for a new mortgage. But short sellers may qualify in as little as two years. When you’re trying to buy a new home, an additional five years can seem like a lifetime. So is there anything you can do to improve your financial footing? You bet there is.

  • Get a letter from your lender confirming that your loan closed in a short sale, not a foreclosure. Send a copy of the letter to each of the nationwide credit reporting companies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
  • Order a copy of your credit report. Make sure the information is accurate. If you find a mistake, contact the credit reporting company and business providing the information to correct the error.
  • When you’re ready to buy another home, get pre-approved for a loan. A pre-approval letter from a lender shows that you are able to go through with a purchase. Pre-approval is not a final loan commitment; it means you met with a loan officer, your credit report was reviewed, and the lender believes you can qualify for a specific loan amount. This pre-approval process allows your lender to identify issues and errors in your credit report that may keep you from qualifying for a loan. That, in turn, allows you to correct inaccuracies before they can prevent you from buying another home.
