Total discharge of debts; I have a current mortgage now with BAC. I'd like to take advantage of low housing prices for a rental.

You can still get a hard money loan from a private party. Problem is the interest is very high.

What chapter was it?   Chap 13 you can qualify right after discharge.  All other chapters you're out of luck for 24 months.

There are some very strict rules about years from discharge of bankruptcy for conventional financing.  You will probably need to look for a hard money lender with considerably >20% down.
