I can. I’m with Home Loan USA, Corp. You will have to document value added. No deals where you throw up some paint and want 30K in added value. Otherwise, no problem, I’ve got all day lenders for unseasoned products.

If your borrowers can qualify for a conventional loan (FNMA or FHMLC) there is no seasoning requirement.
Sub prime lenders are a different story - seasoning requirements vary by lender. As a previous poster stated, if you can document the increase in value it is normally not an issue.
In most cases, the best loan for a B+ or better sub prime borrower is an FHA loan. FHA will allow the down payment (generally 3%) to come from a gift from a non-profit agency. There are several non-profits available that are indirectly funded by the seller. I use www.thebuyersfund.com. In addition the seller can pay up to 6% in closing costs for the buyer.
The only draw back is FHA has a 90-day title-seasoning requirement. In most cases it will take 90 days to rehab, sell and close the property.
