I recently sold my home by short sale. Is it possible to get a new mortgage? I was told it would be two years after the short sale for FHA loan. Are there other loan types that I would qualify for?

Hi mjraz,

You will have to wait for at least 2 years to qualify for an FHA mortgage after a short sale. For conventional mortgages, you will have to wait for 3-4 years. You also need to improve your credit scores sufficiently after the short sale to qualify for a mortgage. It is going to be virtually impossible to qualify for a new mortgage in 12 months time after the sale, given the situation this market is in.
