More info needed, but in general, All major derogatory events have mandatory waiting periods.. FHA has the "Back to work" program,,, after 12 months, you can purchase again, but the guidelines are very strict.. few that apply actually get approved.. In addition, your credit scores must have improved into the acceptable range.. (highly unlikely if you are 12 months out of a BK).. Otherwise, FHA requires a 3 year waiting period.. For conventional, it depends on what the status was on your home before you filed. .if you were in foreclosure, and then you filed BK, then guidelines make you wait 7 years.. if you were not in foreclosure, and filed, then the waiting period is 4 years.. For VA (must have VA benefits available to you).. you have to wait 2 years, but most lenders will make you wait 3.. There are some private money sources where you can buy one day out of a BK or foreclosure. but the down payment requirements will be high.. 25% or more.. and the rate will be high as well,,, I'm a preferred Lender with California and Arizona being my primary markets.
