•VA Loan Credit Score Requirements for Bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy does not immediately disqualify a veteran borrower. The general rule of thumb is the bankruptcy must be discharged at least for two years if it is a chapter 7. Chapter 13 has slightly different conditions and must be viewed on a case per case basis.
VA Loan Credit Score Requirements for Foreclosure.
Foreclosure is still another issue that will be a deciding factor in qualifying a veteran for a VA loan. If a previous foreclosure is on a VA loan, that may change the amount of entitlement available to be used. If the foreclosure was within 1-2 years of applying for a VA loan there are a couple things that are taken into consideration that may still help qualify a veteran:
· If you have obtained credit following the bankruptcy and made satisfactory timely payments
· If reasons for the foreclosure were above and beyond the control of the veteran-Loss of job, medical bills, divorce, loss of a business etc.
