Fannie Mae recently established a 2-year elapsed period for reestablishing
credit for homeowners who sell their homes through a short sale. Two years may seem like a long time to wait before being able to get a new loan, but compare this to what happens if the homeowner goes through the foreclosure process. According to the Fannie Mae guidelines, effective May 31, 2008, a homeowner who has filed a foreclosure will be “ineligible” for a loan for five years.
YES! I said FIVE YEARS!
Two years or five years…? That’s something definitely worth considering.
