Your bankruptcy will be a part of your credit report for ten (10) years (counted from the date you filed your bankruptcy petition).

This does not mean that you can't get a loan/credit for ten years. The real question is, how much interest and fees will you have to pay?

IMPORTANT: You should check your credit report to ensure that the debts you discharged are listed on your credit report as having a zero balance. Debts incorrectly reported as having a balance owed will negatively affect your credit score and make it more difficult for you to obtain a loan/credit.

All the best

This is a cut/paste excerpt from a typical FNMA lender.  I removed the name because it does not matter the name and also, the majority of the reasoning or seasoning is directly from FNMA herself:

We  require a minimum two year period from the bankruptcy filing to the loan application date. In addition all bankruptcies must be discharged at the time of loan application. We will accept the AUS
approval to confirm the discharge dates however we typically will also review the credit report to reflect re-established credit.

Hope that helps and sorry if it splashes cold water on your plans.  Good luck.
