Freedom Mortgage in the Arizona market
Heavy VA / FHA exposure means many Arizona short sale files run through VA Compromise Sale or FHA Pre-Foreclosure Sale rather than a conventional short sale.
How a Freedom Mortgage short sale works
Submission through Freedom Mortgage's online portal. After loss mitigation specialist is assigned and BPO is ordered, the file is routed to the appropriate government agency (VA, HUD/FHA) for approval. The agency's review timing — not Freedom's — usually drives total time.
Typical timeline
VA Compromise Sale: 90–150 days. FHA PFS: 75–120 days. Files with junior liens (HELOC) can run longer.
Paperwork Freedom Mortgage requires
Standard short sale package plus the VA- or FHA-specific forms. VA Compromise Sale specifically requires VA Form 26-6850 and a hardship analysis showing the borrower can't reasonably continue payments. FHA PFS requires the Approval-to-Participate letter and HUD's net minimum calculation.
Common challenges with Freedom Mortgage
Veterans considering a VA Compromise Sale should understand the impact on their VA entitlement. The unused entitlement amount can be partially restored after a Compromise Sale, but full restoration usually requires repayment of any VA-paid claim. Talk to a VA-knowledgeable professional before signing.
Programs Freedom Mortgage participates in
VA Compromise Sale, FHA Pre-Foreclosure Sale, conventional short sale (when servicing conventional loans).
Freedom Mortgage-specific quirks worth knowing
Freedom Mortgage's VA Compromise Sale team is experienced — they handle high volume and know the VA's quirks. The trade-off is that individual files compete for attention, so persistent follow-up matters.
