Millions of homeowners were faced with homes and investment properties that were worth substantially less than what they owed on their mortgage loan balances. Underwater mortgages are when the mortgage loan balance is higher than the market value of the home.

Waiting Period Requirements After Bankruptcy and Foreclosure on Government and Conforming Loans

There are mandatory waiting period requirements to qualify for government and conventional loans after foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, and short sale.

Well, a large percentage of lenders were not doing this. For millions of homeowners, the waiting period did not even start yet after years the home was foreclosed. However, non-QM and alternative mortgage programs were introduced. The housing market today is stronger than ever. Many are worried about another housing market crash like the 2008 real estate meltdown. However, all signs indicate we are not going to have another housing market crash and home prices will continue to rise.

Fortunately, many Americans recovered after the 2008 financial crisis. Most went on and got jobs, saved money, rebuilt their credit, and are ready to purchase a new home.

Millions of Americans who foreclosed on their homes and/or real estate investment properties ran into problems where their lender did not transfer the deed to the property until many years later. Therefore, the waiting period after a housing event did not even start until either a sheriff’s sale and/or a new owner took over the foreclosed home.

What Went Wrong To Trigger The 2008 Housing Meltdown

With the combination of depressed real estate values and teaser rates, many homeowners ended up with underwater mortgages. Underwater mortgages are home loans that are higher than the value of their homes. This led many to foreclose on their homes or file bankruptcy. Many homeowners went through the foreclosure process and foreclosed on their homes. Others were offered a deed in lieu of foreclosure and turned keys to their lenders. Others had a short sale.
