Seasoning??? Is this FHA or a BBQ?

It's not just what you flavor your food with.

Seasoning is an ever more important factor in financing. When you are buying a home with financing a lender will do many things to verify the transactions is arms length and otherwise a legitimate transaction. One of those procedures is verifying the seller has owned the property for a minimum period of time. Currently that is 90 days for FHA. IF your seller has not held the property (on title) for at least 90 days BEFORE the transaction started the loan will be rejected. Moral of the story, when buying a property make sure the seller has owned the property for a minimum period of time or risk losing the property.
