Hey, Felix. There is no way anyone is going to touch this. The borrower needs to get their mid-score over 500 to even have a chance of making this happen. Once 12 months have passed on the mortgage late, the borrower will technically qualify for an FHA C.O. refi. LTV looks good, DTI would be the next hurdle. What are the recent lates specifically? I would suggest you get the borrower working on the mid-score now so you are ready to submit by the end of August 2023. A rapid re-score is your only hope to boost that score. If the borrower’s DTI is low, you might be able to have them open credit-building CCs with Cap One & Discover. They would need to be very disciplined and proactive with those credit-building new lines of credit. Usually, a 459 tells you they are not and will not be disciplined.
