2 Years is current underwriting guideline as no mortgage lates in past two years or automatically your loan is denied, but does not mean in two years you are all set and the rate will not be higher.

Your credit will still have a long way to go, so typically 3 or more years and you need to work on your credit with a pro and monitor it.

BofA might still be offering 1 day out of foreclosure if all of your other confisating factors add up.

FHA requires 2-years from the foreclosure date to be eligible for FHA financing again.
