    i currently own a home and would like to look into purschasing a new one in 2 years. If I had 2 90 days late showing 2 years ago how long will I have to wait generally to buy another home?

    Are you saying they are 90 day lates now, but will be two years old when you want to buy a house?

    Two year old lates are not important. So long as your scores are fine, you have no collections or judgments, you should be fine.

    No they are already two years old and by 2005-2006 I would like to buy another home.

    They won't be a problem then.

    I have about 8 30 day lates and 1 collection ,all in 98 (four years back) but since then maintained clean perfect credit.I'm getting mortgage quotes that are about 0.25%-0.50% less than the best rate.Not bad...In fact initially I wanted to wait for couple of more years so that the score can improve,but looking at the low,low rates I kind of wanted to test the waters and asked couple of lenders for quotes,and to my surprise I got good rates.
