QUALIFYING GUIDELINES

as of December 28, 2009

Homeowners must qualify for
ALL OF THE FOLLOWING
Qualifying Guidelines:


  • No prior bankruptcies and/or foreclosures allowed.

 

  • Short Payoff (Short Sale) must serve as Payment-in-Full.

 

  • If the existing Short Sale Loan is an FHA Insured Loan, borrower is ineligible for this program.
     
  • Borrowers may not short sell "to take advantage of declining market conditions and purchase at a reduced price, a similar or superior property within a reasonable commuting distance"... so the following circumstances may allow borrowers to qualify for new financing:

.

- Job relocation not within a reasonable commuting distance.
- Divorce with court ordered sale, resulting in a Short Sale.
- Property condemnation, change in family size,
or sale due to a medical condition.
- "Inferior" home purchase with lower payment and home size.

Since you'd have to rent an apartment after short selling,
why not own a condo or smaller home instead?


  • No Mortgage or Installment Loan Lates in last 12 months, nor through the new home purchase process

  • New home purchase must be "inferior" to the home being short sold.  No "trade ups" allowed under this program.


  • Minimum 640 FICO Credit Score throughout the Short Sell

        and New Home purchase process

.

  • Borrowers in default on their mortgage at the time of Short Selling are ineligible for FHA financing for three years from the date of the Short Sale, unless the default was due to extenuating circumstances (ie: death of wage earner, major medical) If you were current with your mortgage payments through your Short Sale, then this restriction does not apply.

  • VA allows a defaulted Short Sale purchase on a case by case basis, anytime.


 

  • Our money-back guarantee credit repair affiliate program may be able to permanently remove foreclosures, settled/short payoff accounts, and other delinquent accounts usually within 3-6 months -- to increase credit scores and qualify for loan programs.
