I lost a home to foreclosure financed thru VA about 10 yrs ago..When can I buy another home?

Profile picture for Carlitos Ways
I let someone else take over payments for my home, needless to say they didn't make a single payment. My home was financed thru a VA. How long do I need to wait until all this clears up and I can move forward towards purchasing another home? Can I re-apply for VA?

any other kind of loan however, you would be good to go right now

edit to clarify:

this happened 10 years ago? or this happened recently and the loan was just 10 yrs old?

its 4 years for most loans and 5 years from the date of bankruptcy for FHA

My prior VA loan was assumed, the assumer defaulted on the loan, and VA paid a claim to the lender. VA said it wasn't my fault and waived the debt. Now I need a new VA loan but I am told that my used eligibility can not be restored. Why?

Or,

Q: My prior loan was foreclosed on, or I gave a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or the VA paid a compromise (partial) claim. Although I was released from liability on the loan and/or the debt was waived, I am told that I cannot have my used eligibility restored. Why?

A: In either case, 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.
