Foreclosure Resource Guide - Buying A Home Again After A Foreclosure?

Last week we discussed how foreclosures are still on the rise, the affects on the community and how a Short Sale can be an alternative for a homeowner.  But what about those who have been through a Foreclosure?   When can they buy a home again?


Your credit score will take a major hit after a foreclosure, but there are guidelines to follow when you're ready to be a homeowner again.  If credit is reestablished after the foreclosure, and depending on the type of loan you will use to buy your next home, it can take between 3 - 7 years to be accepted for a home loan.  In the link below, you will find a chart which will outline the present standards set by FHA, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae for the wait time on these loan types for those who have gone through Foreclosure, a Short Sale, or Bankruptcy.  With discipline and perseverance, you can again be in a position to obtain a home loan. The next link below will give you a 5 step guideline on how to reestablish your credit and become a homeowner again.
