Hello. My clients completed a short sale w/ BOA in June 2010. The home had PMI & was an FHA loan.  They received their 1099C last week. They want to know when they can legally purchase a new home w/o worry that someone would come back after them. They're doing a lease to own on a new house from their parents, but for all practical purposes are acting like they own the property. Is now ok to transfer the home into their name or should they wait until 2012 so there's more period between the two? The parents are financing the new mortgage so there's no credit recovery required....

Thanks,
Maggie
