My father was a XXXX Veteran. He purchased a home using a FHA loan in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX he passed away. None of the heirs are in a good enough financial position to assume the loan. I am the youngest son and I am actually living in the house right now but I am unemployed and do not qualify for a loss mitigation program. The house was put up for sale with no success. My father 's sister ( my aunt ) was interested in buying the house through the short sale program but I am told relatives do not qualify for this program. I find this rule discriminates against the relatives because it essentially allows non-relatives to purchase the home for a lower price than a true relative can. I, as a son would basically lose a home and the family would lose an inheritance if relatives are not allowed to use the short sale program to save the property.
