FHA MIP REDUCED -- Only Wait 3 Years To Buy After Forclosure

After a foreclosure, how many years must pass before the client is eligible for financing?




  • Timing is calculated from the date the property transferred out of the foreclosed client's name to either:
  • The date of last activity if foreclosure is reporting on credit
  • The date credit was pulled if it is NOT reporting on credit

  • 2 years: VA
  • 3 years: FHA
  • 7 years: Agency & Jumbo

DON’T PAY MORTGAGE INSURANCE, Same Payment, More Home

Saving $150 a month, can increase the amount of home you can afford. In the example below, it increases your buying power by $33,000.

Putting between 3%-19% down, requires mortgage insurance. So EZ Mortgage allows you to waive the mortgage insurance. Our partner is the largest online mortgage lender in the USA and has the lowest cost for mortgage insurance. We let them pay the mortgage insurance for you in exchange for a slightly higher rate. The total payment ends up being much less this way and the bottom line cost is lower as well.
