Not without permission from the bankruptcy trustee/court.

Yes. But you will have to overcome a lot of obstacles in order to obtain one. Some lenders will approve a home loan if you are in Chapter 13 bankruptcy but only after you have paid consistently for one year and have a credit score of 620 or above. Lenders, as a rule, will not consider a loan until you have approval from the Bankruptcy Court. You will have to ask your bankruptcy trustee for approval to get the loan. This trustee will give you an amount you are allowed to finance. Unfortunately, the amount is usually low. Here is an example:

Annual income: $100,000

All payments to Bankruptcy Court have been consistent for 2 years.

Credit score: 630

Amount needed to finance home: $119,000

Bankruptcy Trustee Loan Approval Amount: $65,000

Although you may qualify to receive a loan in the amount of $119,000, the bankruptcy trustee will only allow you to finance up to $65,000. If you do not have $54,000 to make up the difference.....you will not be able to purchase the home. That being said, it's worth a try. So before you start looking at houses for sale, have your attorney request the bankruptcy trustee for loan approval and what amount. At least from there you will know where you stand.

CAN I QUALIFAY FOR A HOUSE LOAN IF I HAD CHAPTER 13?

Yes it is possible to qualify for a mortgage despite a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing. In a Chapter 13 filing the debtor agrees to a court structured debt repayment schedule. Typically, after making payments on time to creditors as required by the bankruptcy agreement an individual can be discharged by the Court from the Chapter 13 proceeding. Once discharged from bankruptcy an individual can apply for a mortgage. Each bank has different rules about how soon someone can apply for a mortgage after a bankruptcy. Most people coming out of bankruptcy apply for an FHA mortgage loan since this program has the most lenient underwriting standards.


How can one get a loan if they have declared bankruptcy?

Getting a loan after bankruptcy can be difficult depending on what type of bankruptcy one files. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy, one cannot even apply for credit during the length of the bankruptcy. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, that is a different story. One can file Chapter 7 bankruptcy and as soon as it is discharged can apply for credit. The only problem with getting a loan after bankruptcy is that you may have to have a co-signer until you build up some positive credit.
