Can you purchase a home as a first time home buyer if you just filed for bankruptcy?

That is completely relative to the facts surrounding the bankruptcy. In a Chapter 7, the money you might use as a downpayment might belong to the bankruptcy estate until the case has been discharged. If you are in a Chapter 13, you will need permission from the trustee to incur the debt. And you also need a lender that is willing to lend you the money for the purchase, so you can see there are many factors that might change the answer to your question. You probably mean can you get a mortgage. That is at every lenders discretion.
New mortgage, new debt, an obligation to pay as agreed? Well, real tough - not impossible and certainly may depend on your downpayment. Especially with the concerns over subprime lending in todays market (which you by being in BK more than likely would be under most any view). You would have to expect that you would pay a very high interest rate, likely making it something even people with stronger financials wouldn't consider.
if you filed C 13 make sure you discuss anything your doing with the BK trustee. Entering into a refinance or any financial contract without his explicit approval will end BK protection, and is sometimes prosecuted as fraud. Certainly, if it means you would have less disposable income to use toward your outstanding debt, he would have rightful objections.
And consider....your in BK, presumably because you have more debt than you can pay, and you haven't been able to handle finances very well.....you cannot borrow you way out of debt, but even after clearing that in BK, you can sure find yourself in it again.

Can a mortgagor still file a deficiency judgment on you after you file bankruptcy?
a deficiency judgment should be discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy. You should file after you receive the judgment.Im pretty sure this debt would be classified as a unsecured debt.Also, I could be wrong but if you have already filed a bankruptcy then the lender foreclosed and there is a deficiency , the bankruptcy would prove you were insolvent.I think you only have 90 days after you first file.Again I could be wrong. a deficiency judgment should be discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy.

If your first bankruptcy was dismissed and the second one filed but you never made payments for either can they be removed from your credit report?
The second according to my credit report only says filed. My transUnion doesn't show it and I don't have my Experian report. I will have to contact the court I am sure to get the documentation I need. thanks for your input. Your first bankruptcy can be removed, because it was dismissed. A dismissal is a legal disposition of the legal action bankruptcy. The other disposition is discharged. You don't mention what the disposition was of the second bankruptcy. If it was granted, and your debt discharged, but you never paid on it, (was it a chapter 13?) then it is not discharged. You need to find out the correct status of the bankruptcy before this question can be answered.
Can you get government job after bankruptcy?
Maybe.It also depends on a lot of other factors, but if you would have been able to get that same job before you'd filed for bankruptcy and there would not have been any other factors preventing you from getting the job, then you should be able to...also depending on the reason bankruptcy was filed in the first place. All those factors are taken into consideration.

Can you file bankruptcy on Sally Mae student loan?
No. Under no bankruptcy scheme will student loan obligations be dischargeable. Rather, they will remain with you until they are paid off and just because you have filed for bankruptcy does not mean that the loan interest rates will stop either. This is a debt you should attend to as soon as you can and if it is a major reason for your filing for bankruptcy then I urge you to reconsider and speak with an attorney first.
