SHORT SALES
Short sales are typically treated the same as foreclosures as listed above. However, the exception for FHA would be if all debts including the mortgages were paid as agreed for a 12 month period leading up to the short sale. The exception for conventional is that Fannie Mae will allow for a purchase 2 years post short sale if it reported on the borrowers credit report as a 5 or below (short sale status).
