FHA "Back to Work - Extenuating Circumstances"

Credit Issue	If credit issue is the result of a documented Economic Event**
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy	12 months must have elapsed since the date of discharge.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy	Must have been discharged prior to the loan application and all required bankruptcy payments made on-time, or a minimum of 12 months of the pay-out period under the bankruptcy has elapsed and all required bankruptcy payments were made on time. If the Chapter 13 bankruptcy was not discharged prior to the loan application, the borrower must obtain written permission to proceed with a mortgage transaction from the bankruptcy court.
CAIVRS	If the CAIVRS screening indicates a claim has been paid within the last 3 years on a loan insured on the borrower’s behalf by FHA, a request for a waiver or resolution of the unresolved issue may be submitted. The CAIVRS must be cleared prior to closing.
Collection Accounts	Must document all collections and judgments were due to economic default.
Foreclosure & Deed-in-Lieu	Minimum 12 months must have elapsed from the date of completion. If the previous loan was an FHA loan, 12 months must have elapsed from the date when FHA paid the initial claim to the lender.
Mortgage History	Any open mortgage is 0x30 in last 12 months.
Credit	No current late housing payments or installment payment. No major credit issue on revolving.
Non-traditional	No lates on rental payments; max 1x30 on payments due any other creditor, and no collection / court records.
Short Sale/Pre-Foreclosure	12 months must have elapsed since the date of sale.

**An Economic Event is any occurrence beyond the borrower’s control that results in Loss of Employment, Loss of Income, or a combination of both, which causes a reduction in the borrower’s Household Income of twenty (20) percent or more for a period of at least six (6) months.

Minimum mid-credit score 580

Exception: The lender may grant an exception to the xx-year requirement if the derogatory event was the result of documented extenuating circumstances that were beyond the control of the borrower, such as a serious illness or death of a wage earner, and the borrower has re-established good credit since the derogatory event.

"Divorce is not considered an extenuating circumstance. An exception may, however, be granted where a borrower's loan was current at the time of his/her divorce, the ex-spouse received the property, and the loan was later foreclosed."

Note: "The inability to sell the property due to a job transfer or relocation to another area does not qualify as an extenuating circumstance."

HECM Reverse Mortgage Purchase

Based on ML 09-11 and HB 4155.1, an applicant who has had a foreclosure in the last 3 years, FHA or Conventional, is not eligible for a HECM for purchase. This includes the following:

A filed NOD (Notice of Default)

A deed in lieu of foreclosure

A mortgage delinquency of 120 days or greater will be considered the equivalent of a NOD, regardless of whether foreclosure action has been commenced

Short Sales (A short sale payoff or a settled mortgage account is considered a foreclosure event)
