If i short sale a house how long do i have to wait to purchase a dwelling?

If you short sale a house you don't have to wait any specific amount of time to purchase a dwelling. It does mean that the interest rate on the new mortgage could be higher than normal, or it may be more difficult to purchase a new dwelling due to the poor credit score resulting from the previous short sale.
