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.
