If you file bankruptcy, can you still?

Question

Buy a home?

Especially if the bankruptcy was against a home.

Answer 1

as far as i know . not for like seven years unless you plan on paying cash

Answer 2

I don't  think that's possible. You can't do too much of anything . Hopefully you don't win a lottery, it'll be taken away from you to repay the bills you had.

Answer 3

No way, at least not for 7 years. I divorced and my ex stopped paying on his car which was in both our names. So I had a repossession on my record. It affected buying a house 6 years later. Bankruptcy is worse.

Answer 4

Buying a home after a bankruptcy filing is going to depend on a couple of things. It's based on income, and if you can re-establish your credit after the bankruptcy filing. I've seen people buy homes within a few months of filing and some 3 years after the filing. It's going to depend on how you hand the finances from now on. Good Luck!
