Ready to Buy a Home Again?

Many people have went through a short sale, a foreclosure or have had other financial difficulties in recent years. The good news about financial problems is that for most people, they don’t last forever. With the dip in the economy, millions of people’s incomes were impacted and as a result, many people either had a short sale or a foreclosure.

So if you are one of those people who experienced financial problems, don’t feel like you were alone.

We set up this site to help people just like you who used to be homeowners learn more about what they need to do to buy again after a financial difficulty that resulted in their losing their home.

Depending on the lender and the loan program you apply for after you have had a short sale or foreclosure you will have different requirements laid out in order to get approved. Some loan programs allow you to buy a home without waiting very long at all and some loan programs can make you wait as long as 7 years – so it is important to know the difference.

Popular Loan Programs Available For Buying After a Hardship

Lenders are creating programs available to people who have went through a short sale, foreclosure or other hardship – because they realize that millions of people are going to want to buy again after losing their home or having a hardship. Some of the popular loan programs that will let you buy a home again include FHA loans, VA loans, USDA loans and Conventional loans.

No one loan program is right for everyone – so be sure to work with a great lender who understands the ins and outs of each program and what it takes to get qualified.

Credit Scores Matter

When it comes time to buy a home again after financial problems, the waiting periods required by loan programs or lenders are one thing, but having a credit score that is high enough to qualify for a loan is another. Most loan programs today require a minimum credit score – and if you have went through a short sale or foreclosure, chances are your credit score has taken quite a hit.

A short sale generally has less of an impact on someone’s credit score than a foreclosure. The biggest impact is caused by late payments, and the foreclosure process usually will take longer than a short sale — so there are more late payments for the credit bureaus to count. Also, how the foreclosure or short sale shows up on your credit report can make a difference. If your loan was “settled,” it will not be as harmful to your credit as if it was recorded as a “default.”

Doing simple things like paying off your credit card debt, making all of your other monthly payments on time and keeping records of your on-time payments and monthly budgets showing that you have cut back on spending are all things that will help improve your credit score and make sure that you are putting yourself in the best situation possible with regards to your credit score.

The good news is that storms never last, and depending on what kind of storm you have been through, there is a pathway to follow where you can buy a home again.
