FYI:  Post Bkrptcy guidelines... FOR FHA FINANCING
FHA:  Chptr 7 - does not auto disqualify obtaining mortg.  At least 2 years must lapse since discharge.  Borrower must have reestablished good credit or chosen not to incur new cr obligations during this time.  Comes down then to lender/underwriter discretion/requirements.
FHA: Chptr 13 - does not auto disqualify obtaining mortg. One yr of the payout must have lapsed under the bkrptcy & all pmts have been made satisfactorily & on time.  Borr must receive written permission frm the court to enter into the mortg transction. 
FHA: above is in addition to meeting FHA minimum cr scores.

good luck

FYI:  Post Bkrptcy guidelines... FOR AGENCY (fnma/freddie) FINANCING

All Bkrptcies except Chptr 13 - minimum 48 months from discharge or dismissal date.
Chptr 13 Bkprtcy - minimum 24 months form discharge date or 48 months from dismissal date.

A Foreclosure trumps the bkrptcy requirements - 60 months from foreclosure completion date.
A "deed-in-lieu" trumps also - 84 months
Short Sale or Pre-foreclosure - 48 months or more since completion

Must meet all agency's standard requirements of dti, ltv, reserves, etc..

I'd interview multiple originators & pick the most knowedgeable more so than the one that appears the most economical.  Good luck

If you have at least 3 trade lines after the bankruptcy all paid on time and a credit score of 640 or greater you may be elligible for financing.  Did you include a home in your bankruptcy?  If so you will need to wait another 12 months.

Thanks for all your input.  If I included 6 homes in the BK is that an additional 12 months to the 2 year window?

Now you're just toying with us, right Eric?

This is a public real estate forum, not a legal advisory.

If you BK'd out of of 6 residential properties, then my best guess is that you plenty of legal counsel.

Perhaps another consultation with your attorney would afford you the proper answer. If not, then take the advice of several of us >>> consult with a local, experienced mortgage lender.
