Lending After Bankruptcy, Foreclosure, or Short Sale
A Bad Year Is Not a Life Sentence.
Programs exist with little or no waiting period after a credit event, for the right scenario. The story matters more than the date.
How It Works
"Seasoning" is how long ago the event happened. Conventional guidelines demand years. Certain non-QM programs need little or none, because they underwrite the recovery instead of the calendar.
A documented rebuild (steady income, on-time payments, savings restored) strengthens a file in ways a waiting period never will. Redemption, not shame.
Who This Is For
- ·Households past a bankruptcy discharge
- ·Owners rebuilding after a foreclosure
- ·Buyers past a short sale
- ·Anyone told to wait years by a conventional lender
A Common Scenario
"A short sale during a brutal stretch, then three steady years: income back, savings rebuilt, rent never late. The conventional calendar says keep waiting. The right program reads the recovery instead of the date, and the family stops paying someone else's mortgage. Illustrative example; every scenario differs."
What You'll Need
- — Documentation of the event and its date
- — 12+ months of on-time rent or housing history
- — Recent income and asset documentation
- — A brief written recovery narrative
