We have put together a guide below to help people who have recently had a foreclosure, short sale, bankruptcy, deed in lieu, or loan modification to figure out the timeline for when they are next able to purchase a home.
Returning buyers must meet minimum credit thresholds to obtain mortgage finance. The credit repair process ranges from simple to complex. Central Coast Lending is hands-on in helping our clients with credit repair.
“We worked with a client for well over a year on repairing their credit from a bankruptcy and short sale,” said Grote. “When they first came in they had a 560 credit score and by the time we finished up our work, the final score was 671.”
Grote and Central Coast Lending helped comb through the client’s finances to find cases of misreported debt.

Credit repair cases for foreclosure and bankruptcy tend to take longer than short sales. Central Coast Lending can help, but the process can take time. Give us a call at 805.543.LOAN to get started.
Different loan programs have different guidelines. Let’s start here:
Central Coast Lending recently helped map out a path to affordable ownership that took two loans and over six months to complete.
The clients were 18 months removed from a short sale, and wanted to return to the market while the window of affordable buying conditions (low interest rates and low home prices) was open.
Central Coast Lending used the FHA Back-to-Work program to get them in the door and purchase a home.
Over the following six months, market appreciation helped improve the value of their new property. At the 24 month threshold, the borrowers had built a 20% equity stake in their now property – an 80% loan-to-value on the home.
The clients now qualified for a conventional loan, and Central Coast Lending helped them refinance to eliminate the monthly mortgage insurance charged by their initial FHA-backed loan.
We have offered education, expertise, and creativity as important steps to take in returning to the market. The final step is to shop around and learn about the possibilities before agreeing to anything.
Central Coast Lending is a California mortgage broker and direct lender based on the Central Coast of California in San Luis Obispo County. Call us at 805.543.LOAN or email us here to set up a free pre qualification. We are happy to help.
