Buyer With A Prior Short Sale - Here are the waiting times

A very high percentage of Florida homeowners short sold a home in the past 5 years.

A common question I often get is ....how far removed from a short sale does someone have to be in order to quaify for home financing???

Here are some guidelines that can hopfully help buyer's agents qualify their buyers.

Conventional - 2 Years if you are putting 20% down - 4 Years between 80% and 90% Loan to Value, and 7 Years above 90% loan to value - or less than 10% dowm

FHA - 3 Years removed

USDA - 3 years removed

VA - 2 Years removed
