The chart below is a great tool to give you a basic guide when you might qualify for a mortgage again, if you have had a Short Sale. With a conversation with Nina Efird of Suntrust bank if you had a VA Compromise Sale, the VA is requiring you to pay back the delinquency if you would like to have full eligibility.
The specific wording on the VA official site includes the following;
“…although the veteran’s debt was waived by VA, the Government still suffered a loss on the loan. The law does not permit the used portion of the veteran’s eligibility to be restored until the loss has been repaid in full.”
If a VA loan applicant is notified that a debt to the government exists, or was aware of the debt prior to applying for the loan, it’s a very good idea to contact the VA directly to work out the details of repayment before trying to apply for a new VA mortgage.
Another important fact to remember–you may still be able to take advantage of any unused VA loan eligibility. If a borrower did not use the full entitlement on the previous VA mortgage, any remaining entitlement may be allowed.
A borrower’s debt to the government for a compromise claim could be factored into the debt-to-income ratio unless the lender feels the compromise claim debt is too large compared to other financial factors. Such debt might result in the need for a down payment, or a larger down payment than usual–requirements will differ from lender to lender.
