Generically speaking, pursuing FHA/VA financing require 2 years from discharge date with re-established credit paid as agreed or no new credit obligations incurred. Less than 2 years, but not less than 12 months from discharge date may be acceptable if the bankruptcy was caused by acceptable extenuating circumstances and borrower has since exhibited a documented ability to manage financial affairs in a responsible manner. *Serious illness or death of a wage earner. Divorce and the inability to sell a property due to a job transfer or relocation to another area DOES NOT qualify as an acceptable extenuating circumstance.
It is very difficult to do, but depending on your circumstances it IS a possibility. There will need to be a very good reason - an extenuating circumstance - and supporting documentation in order to have a shot.
Hi MarcieUnfortunately, one year from the final discharge of your bankruptcy will not be sufficient for you to obtain financing on your home. There are some programs that will review your extenuating circumstances after 2 years, with established positive credit. Perhaps there are options to consider... What is the status of the Mortgage and are there any other occupants in the home?You may email me direct to review the circumstances: jbodway@acceptancecapital.com
Maybe. Mostly it will depend on your equity position. You will not be eligible for traditional financing for at least two years from the discharge date. That said, if you really need the cash, and you have sufficient equity, there are several private money lenders that would consider lending to you. If you are looking for traditional financing, you should use the next year to make sure your credit is as good as possible. If you don't know what you need to do to fix your credit, contact a local Mortgage Banker/Broker to get the ball rolling. Most will be willing to set you up on a plan so you are loan ready when you become eligible.
