First and foremost lenders will want to see that you have re-established your credit after a Deed in lieu of foreclosure. Make sure that you do not miss any payments. If you are buying a home make you can provide documented rental history for 12 months.

FHA insured mortgages are generally not available to borrowers whose property was transferred with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure within the previous three years. However, if the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure of the borrower's main residence was the result of extenuating circumstances, an exception may be granted if they have since established good credit. This does not include the inability to sell a home when transferring from one area to another.

FHA allows a borrower with a minimum credit score of 580 to buy a home with only a 3.5% down payment. The guidelines allow a borrower with a minimum credit score of 580 to buy a home using their own funds for a down payment or the down payment funds can be a gift from a family member.

New guidelines allows a home buyer with a minimum credit score of 580 up to a 6% seller's concession. The seller's concession must be written into the sales contract.

Borrowers with a credit score below 580 new guidelines require a minimum down payment of 10%.
