Can I get a loan without 20% down?

Yes - you only have to be 3 years from the actual date of the short sale And assuming you have job stability and debt to income ratios are in line then you will qualify today ! :) - Sonny

Yes you can. Sonny is right. 3 yrs from the date of the short sale. If you had no late payments leading up to the short sale, no waiting period is required.

If you are still a ways from the actual date foreclosure was filed then you can only obtain a loan with 20% down payment. You would need to check with mortgage brokers licensed in Texas and find out who does those loans. Perhaps, you would like reach the point of 3 years from your foreclosure date before you could save up that much more...unless a relative might gift the money to you.

Much more info needed, but in general, FHA allows for financing 3 years from the SS date.. For conventional, you need to wait 4 years.. Regardless, FHA requires 3.5% down, and conventional requires 3% to 5% down. Whether or not you an qualify is anyone's guess.. we look at all 3 credit scores of ALL borrowers and use the Mid score to determine if you are eligible.. you only provided one score. Debt to income ratios are also looked at,, but we have no idea what your monthly debt obligations are.. Job, Income, income type, property type, etc.. I could go on, but I'm sure you get it by now.. the only way to know for sure if you an qualify is if we look at your complete loan profile.. For this reason, I suggest you contact a mortgage bank/broker and apply with them. Once they see your complete loan profile, they will be better equipped to advise you properly. Also, by applying with a Banker/Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with many lenders with each one offering a different type of lending program. This is unlike the local bank which typically only has a few lending programs. The more lenders, the more lending options, and the more likely your scenario will be accepted.. Plus, the banker/broker is experienced in seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario, and he has lower overhead which typically results in lower rates and fees than most of the big box banks.
