Time Limits on Sales after Refinancing

The Veteran's Administration does not put time limits on the sale of a property after it has been refinanced, as it limits refinancing. You can sell a home with a VA loan any time after the loan has closed.

The VA says that if the loan was approved after March 1, 1988, the VA or the lender has to be notified and approved before the person takes over the existing VA loan.

The property can be sold to anyone and the outstanding VA loan paid off without preconditions.

Short Sales

A short sale occurs when someone cannot make the payments and chooses to sell the property for less than it is worth rather than face foreclosure. The VA only permits short sales if there are severe hardships, such as death of one of the mortgagees, a reduction in income, involuntary relocation somewhere that commuting is not an option or major medical expenses.

The VA will permit a short sale of the home at any point after its refinancing if these conditions are met, even if the borrower recently refinanced in an effort to save the home. However, the VA requires the property to be sold at market value and the short sale is less costly than a foreclosure in terms of related fees. The VA must receive a contingency sale package to accept the short sale.

If the Property Doesn't Sell

You cannot have two simultaneous VA loans using your VA entitlement, because the VA has strict occupancy requirements. This could result in a new mortgage for the second home having a much higher interest rate or down payment requirement. However, you can get one VA loan on a new property while trying to sell the prior one. You can rent out the old home until it sells.

How is a reverse mortgage paid off?

A reverse mortgage can be paid off either by selling the home and using sales proceeds, refinancing the home, or doing a streamline reverse mortgage to a new reverse mortgage program. If the homeowner wishes to move, they can sell and use a reverse mortgage to purchase a new home. If the homeowner has passed away, the heirs have 6 months to refinance the home, sell it, or decide to turn over the home to the lender. If there is negative equity in the home the homeowner or the heirs may turn the property over to the lender and walk away without personal recourse. Reverse mortgages are non recourse loans, meaning the only recourse the lender has for collecting lost funds is against the property itself.
