Hi;

 

It depends on a lot of things.  The best way to answer this question is to find out here you are with your credit.  I will be glad to put you in contact with our in house lender.  Is email the best contact for you?

Most lenders will say 3 years, some which are more strict with 4 years, expecially if it will be an investment property.

strengthen your credit while waiting and save some money for a down payment.
