You can make new purchases and create new debt as soon as the day of the discharge of your bankruptcy action. However, if the cash your using was not disclosed in your bankruptcy, or was temporarily diverted to a friend or family member to avoid disclosure, then you may face federal problems if discovered.
If you are using disclosed cash, or new assets you obtained after your bankrupcy you would not have any problems. However, if your looking for a mortgage for this new house, willingness of a financial institute to provide you with new debts or loans will vary depending on how this effected your credit and other factors.
Prior to the problems in the mortgage lending industry it would have been possible, however today it is much harder since there really are no sub-prime banks anymore. I would say it may take a few years and diligent personal financial and credit management.
As soon as you get the cash to pay for it
No.
one year.
about a year or two
If you have filed bankruptcy because you cannot afford to pay your debts, a lender will not loan you money to purchase a house and it just doesn't make sense. You cannot continue to acquire assets while your assets are frozen and in the possession of the trustee in bankruptcy in a bankruptcy proceeding.
When you have the money
5 years
As soon as you get the cash to pay for it

Yes, as soon as you reestablish your credit to the lender's satisfaction.

The day you are discharged you can buy a car. You need to take proof that you are discharged.
i am not 100% about being able to buy a house, but you CAN keep your house if you already own 1,but you do have to pay any equity in the house to your liquidator.
2 years for an FHA loan
