Foreclosure
A homeowner who loses a home to a foreclosure
is ineligible for a loan for a period of 5 years.
|
Short Sale
A successful short sale will be eligible for
a mortgage only after 18-24 months!!
|
|
Your credit score may be lowered anywhere
from 150-300 points. This will affect your score for over 3 years!!
|
Your mortgage will be reported as paid or
negotiated, lowering your credit score as little as 50 - 100 points!
|
|
Foreclosure will remain on your credit history
for 10 years or more
|
A short sale is not reported on a credit history.
There is no specific reporting item for “short sale”. The loan is typically reported
as “paid in full, settled”
|
|
Employers have the right, and are actively
and regularly checking the credit of all employees who are in sensitive positions.
A foreclosure, in many cases, is grounds for immediate reassignment or termination.
|
A short sale has no challenge to employment
since it is not reported on your credit history.
|
|
In almost all foreclosures the bank will come
after 100% of the deficiency balance
|
In many short sales we have the deficiency
balance completely forgiven
