Foreclosure: On any future application, a prospective borrower will have to answer YES to question C in section VII of the standard 1003 form that asks, "Have you had property foreclosed upon or given title or deed in lieu thereof in the last 7 years?" This will affect future rates.
Short Sale: There is no similar declaration or question regarding a short sale.
If possible, a short sale is a much better option than going into foreclosure. Here is the second reason why.
An Investor who allows a property to go to foreclosure is ineligible for a Fannie Mae backed investment mortgage for a period of 7 years.
An investor who successfully negotiates and closes a short sale will be eligible for a Fannie Mae backed investment mortgage after only 2 years.
Spending a little bit of time now with a qualified agent may save you years of waiting to re purchase a home later on.
Are you or is someone you know facing foreclosure? A Short Sale may be the answer. Did you know that:
A homeowner who loses a home due to foreclosure is ineligible for a Fannie Mae-backed mortgage for a period of 5 years. A homeowner who successfully negotiates and closes a short sale will be eligible for a Fannie Mae-backed mortgage after only 2 years.
