First of all, decease if you have a previous foreclosure(does not matter if it is FHA/VA/Conventional), information pills you MUST wait 3 years before you are eligible to apply for another FHA loan. This is the critera from the FHA itself. So if it has not been 3 years, I’m afraid you are not eligible for an FHA.

Secondly, if it has been 3 years since the foreclosure, and if you HAVE perfect credit since, you may be APPROVED for another FHA. HOWEVER, FHA will TYPICALLY REQUIRE that any outstanding collection accounts be paid BEFORE being able to close on the loan. So whatever amount is showing on any collection(including your foreclosure), must still be paid before you can close.

I wish I had better news for you but unfortunately this is the criteria for an FHA

Question by sakof90s: FHA inspections – how fast can they be done?
How fast can an FHA inspection for approval be completed? We are selling our condo and buying a house. We are in escrow in both processes. Of course we need to sell to get the down payment for the purchase. Today, sickness our agent called to see if the condo we are selling has been inspected and approved by the FHA. I’m not sure but it sounds like the buyer’s lender wants FHA backing. To our knowledge, website the condo has not previously been approved. We are locked in at a decent mortgage rate, ambulance but there is an expiration date for that lock-in. I don’t want to lose the rate and wonder how long it will take to have the FHA do their inspection of the condo and approve the backing. We live in So. Calif. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Typically if his/her buyer is doing an FHA loan, then the loan company that is doing it for them needs to send their own inspector over. It’s not up to you…the only time you get an inspection is if you wanted to certify that your home is somehow a good buy or something…like a “for the record” type thing….

If the buyer is doing an FHA loan, then the lender should be sending an inspector over anywhere from 30 days before the closing and up until about 2 weeks from the closing.

When is your closing date for the buyer? If it is w/in the next 30 days expect someone to come inspect the home in the next few days to couple weeks…

Hope that helps….

  1. We are FHA inspectors in Florida and we can typically complete an FHA inspection with a 72 hour turnaround from time requested. It depends on the time frame that your mortgage company or lending institution sends the request. It usually isn’t difficult from our point of view. Generally an FHA appraisal has already been perfromed and we are forwarded a list of concerns or compliance issues from the lender. We visit the site, make sure the concerns have been addressed appropriately and issue a report.
