Contact a lender who specializes in lending to people with low credit scores. Your community bank might also be interested in lending you money, so contact them too.

Responsible lenders are tightening their standards in reaction to the present foreclosure crisis. It is unlikely that a responsible lender would extend a loan since your current history shows you were unable to pay your mortgage. It may take you several years to improve your credit record enough to qualify for a mortgage again. You also need time to build up a savings reserve for a down payment and to show you have resources to fall back on in an emergency.

You should take some time to rethink homeownership if you have recently lost property by a foreclosure. Lenders that extend loans to borrowers with poor credit records generally charge high fees and interest rates. Those lenders try to get as much up front from the borrower as possible and add it to the debt. Closing costs for a high risk borrower can be twice as high as for a borrower with a good credit rating.

Sub-prime lenders generally don't care if the borrower can pay because they sell those notes immediately following the closing. They are in the business of selling mortgages. Any cash you have will be scooped at the closing leaving you in a poor position to keep up with your new mortgage payments and any unexpected homeowner type expenses. You should not create more debt for yourself without being fully informed.
