In North Carolina, where my Real Estate company is based, we have helped Home Buyers purchase 3 years and a day after their bankruptcy was discharged. The big caveat here is that these Buyers did everything 8*right* after the bankruptcy (caused by a serious illness in one case and a divorce in the other) - they re-established their credit and demonstrated to lenders that the difficulty they faced was short-term (not permanent) and was in the past.
Hope this is helpful and Happy Home Hunting!

You used to be able to get an FHA loan one day after a chapter 13 Bk. If you are in Texas please contact me through my profile here and I can refer you to a great and honest lender who knows FHA inside and out.

Perhaps you can ask the attorney who represented you in your chapter 13 bankruptcy that question. If you need the name of a few good lenders, feel free to contact me directly.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!

Probably not, but you need to speak with a few lenders to see what they say.
My chapter 13 bankruptcy is ending May 2011. Will I be able to purchase a home?
