I did not bankrupt my car and have 2 yrs of excellent credit with it. Please email me at GaryDinCA@aol.com if anyone can help me get a home loan. I saw a home I wanted to purchase that's listed in the 170's. Have about 15k to put down as well.
Thanks,
Gary

Gary, did you just file or has it been dispersed yet?  You do know that your creditors can come after you for most property (such as a car and/or $15k in cash) right?

I hope you are working with an attorney.

The minimum time frame for obtaining a loan after a Chapter 7 BK is 2 years from date of discharge and to up to 4 years depending on loan type.  You may find an owner willing to carry financing or do a 2 year lease option..
