Who uses a recent credit event loan?

Built for borrowers who've overcome financial hardship and are ready for a fresh start.

Post-bankruptcy borrowers

People who encounter trouble and got into a Chapter 7 or even a Chapter 13 bankruptcy but discharged and is ready or wants to buy a home. Estimate ratios first with our DTI calculator.

Post-foreclosure buyers

Borrowers who went through a foreclosure and want to try a chance at buying again without waiting three to seven years, which is normally required for conventional standards.

Short sale recoverers

Borrowers who in the past completed a short sale or went through hard times or are ready to enter the housing market — check purchase power with our affordability calculator.

Loan modification graduates

Families who previously maybe had a loan modification done to their home mortgage but want to either purchase or refinance.

Extenuating circumstances

Borrowers and families who had major credit events that were caused by medical bills, collections, divorce, job loss, or any other hardship that could be documented — high-asset borrowers may also qualify on assets via an asset-depletion loan.

Credit rebuilders

Families who are really trying to rebuild their credit after an event that occurred and now have a score above 620 with on-time payment history. See our mortgage process for what closing looks like.

Texas's fresh start lender

Let's face it, Kama, life happens. Emergencies that require medical attention, or divorce, or even a job loss, don't always reflect who we are as people. Recent credit event programs in Texas evaluate the financial health of your situation now and not your past.

No waiting period

Non-qualified mortgage programs in Texas allow us to approve someone as soon as a day after a bankruptcy discharge or foreclosure or short sale. Certain programs don't require seasoning. Self-employed buyers in this bucket often pair the program with a bank-statement loan.

All credit events accepted

Chapter 7 & 13 bankruptcy, foreclosure, deed-in-lieu, short sale, loan modification, and even multiple events are eligible for our programs — FHA borrowers should see our notes on collections and FHA approval.

Rebuilding credit considered

We'll look at your credit history and pull a credit report to see how you're doing now. If you have strong payment history and have rebuilt your credit profile, this will work in your favor. Worried about a late dip? Read our guide on a credit drop during underwriting.

Primary & investment eligible

Texas credit event loans can be used for a primary, a second, and even an investment property — landlords often use a DSCR loan for additional rentals.

Why borrowers choose fresh start financing

No waiting period

Instead of waiting three to seven years, that is normal and customary for a conventional loan, this program will allow you to qualify much sooner as long as your credit history shows that you're on track.

Current profile matters

We'll focus on your rebuilt credit and income that is stable right now. Then the available assets will help you qualify and put the event behind you.

Multiple event types

Bankruptcy, foreclosure, short sale, deed-in-lieu, charge-offs, and loan modifications are all eligible credit events.

How fresh start financing works

From credit review to closing day.

01

Credit review

We start with an application and a full credit report to document the history. Then we'll evaluate your current credit profile, making sure that your scores are up and your payment history is current, showing no lates in the last 12 months.

02

Pre-approval

If we are good to go, you'll get a pre-approval from a local South Texas lending loan officer based off of your current profile and not your past. We'll provide a clear guidance and down payment expectation on how to qualify.

03

Underwriting

Our non-QM underwriters will look at the credit event loans and determine if we qualify. Even if we need to navigate through event documentation or letter of explanations in underwriting, we'll request what's needed.

04

Close & start fresh

Get clear to close and sign at a Texas title company. Then finally you'll have a fresh start.

Credit event FAQ

Common questions about buying a home after a credit event in Texas.

Short answer is yes. While a conventional loan will require you to be at least 2-4 years outside of a waiting period after bankruptcy, a non-QM recent credit event program in Texas allows you to qualify for a loan before then. Things like your down payment and score and payment history will depend on how recent the event was and what your current credit report looks like. In most cases it needs to be at least 12 months.
With Texas non-QM lending you can qualify as soon as a day after the foreclosure if all payments are current. With a normal conventional loan requiring a (3-7 year waiting period), this gives you a second chance.
Charge-offs, medical collections, or deed-in-lieu are all eligible credit events. Most Texas non-QM programs have no mandatory waiting period for these events. Though sometimes terms will improve as more time passes from the event that occurred.
With recent credit event programs requiring a minimum credit score of 620-640, it will depend on your credit profile. The score will reflect your current credit and rebuild. In most recent credit event programs will want you to have at least 12 months of clean payment history.
Rates typically range from 7.0% to 9.5% depending on the type and recency of the credit event, current credit score, down payment, and property type. Contact STX Lending at (210) 750-6164 for a personalized quote.
Yes. Borrowers with multiple credit events (e.g., bankruptcy AND foreclosure) can still qualify. Terms may require additional down payment or higher credit score minimums, but financing is available.
