Bankruptcy Foreclosure – How long do I wait to purchase a home?

One of the most popular questions we get here at Key Credit Repair is “How long after a bankruptcy can I purchase a home?”.

The events leading up to a bankruptcy can be absolutely traumatizing but bankruptcy can provide an immediate sense of relief. Having a “clean slate” financially is a pretty wonderful thing. One of our top ranked mortgage partners, Savvas Fetfatsidis has forwarded us some pretty amazing information in regards to bankruptcy, foreclosures, short sales, etc.

So, here it goes…….

FHA Loans:

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy-2 years after discharged.

Foreclosure-3 years after completion.

Short sale-3 years after completion. P.S. If you are wondering the difference between doing a short sale and just letting your home go into foreclosure is in regards to purchasing a home might be? Well, there isn’t any for FHA financing. Only with conventional financing will you find a difference.
