10/16/2014 Updated Lender Guidelines For Short SalesFannie Mae has updated their guidelines for shorts sales & deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure to remove the equity element. See below to learn more......... Last November we wrote an article on lender guidelines for distressed situations, along with providing a matrix that highlighted the waiting periods required (click here to view this article). We are providing this article to update that information. Fannie Mae has removed the loan-to-value element in their guidelines. Now all short sales and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure have a 4-year waiting period, regardless of the loan-to-value. The only exception to this rule is if extenuating circumstances can be met to lower that waiting period requirement down to 2 years. OLD RULES 7-year waiting period if < 10% equity 4-year waiting period if 10% - 20% equity 2-year waiting period if > 20% equity NEW RULES 4-year waiting period ** ** If extenuating circumstances are able to be documented, the waiting period requirement can be reduced to just 2 years.
