steve, please don't post the same question more than one time.

as for 563 scores, the only way you're going to find a lender in this environment is one with hard money, if at all.

563 is only 17 points away from the new minimum for fha - why not postpone things until those 17 points can be achieved? that's by far the best bet at this time.

George is right. You can do a few things to increase your score over the next month or two. Work on that.

Hi George, I see you as a loan officer. Quick question for you..
This is what is shown on my credit report after a short sale 2 months ago. How is this being interpreted for giving a loan when I go for a loan?
---------
Experian: Status: Paid,Closed/Current, was past due 120 days.

Equifax: ING DIRECT

frankly, short sales are only going to be showing up on credit reports recently; so i've not much experience in seeing that. nevertheless, let me give you my estimate of how to view it (at least how i will view it).

certainly, the report of "past due 120 days" is not favorable. you'll have explaining to do with any lender who takes a look at you in the future. whatever took place to cause this, you'll want to be sure you have good, solid explanations and documentation to back them up. as for the equifax report, that's a whole lot more favorable. you won't have to explain that rating, i guess. did trans union not show the loan?

i think your solid explanation, combined with the fact that you were able to sell the home and not have to suffer foreclosure or collection action, will serve you well. of course, the underlying credit score is going to be the most important part of your credit profile when you next aim for a purchase.
