It is possible, ut your loan officer will need more information than you have provided. Some of which you see posted in other responses. I recommend you call a Lender 411 Mortgage Professional in your area and have a thorough conversation about your situation.

Great question, and I get asked this question very regularly. Here is a great "cheat sheet" that I refer back to almost daily that goes over the various loan program waiting periods after negative credit events. Sometimes there are multiple events that affect this, as well as extenuating circumstances. http://landhomenw.com/when-can-i-get-a-mortgage-after-a-foreclosure-short-sale-or-bankruptcy.htm

Yes, this is certainly possible. FNMA will allow a 2 year seasoning on short sales, but there are other considerations to be made. The best thing for you to do is to have a local lender qualify you.
