I would suggest you consult with a local mortgage banker to evaluate if you qualify. If you are considering bankrutpcy one would assume you are carrying a heavy debt load and or you are currently behind on payments. If that is the case you will more than likely NOT qualify in today's lending environment. There are no restrictions on applying for a mortgage if you have not yet filed bankrutpcy and are merly considering it... If you do however file a chapter 13, you may apply for an FHA-insured refinance 12 months after your filing so long as you've made all your payments on time. There are loan limits with FHA so you will want to consult with your local lender to check your area limits. www.BKRelief.com specializes in these type transactions.
