Can you file bankruptcy on your house after chapter 7 discharge?
Your mortgage should have been included in your chapter 7 discharge. If it was- then you are no longer liable for the mortgage, but the lender can still foreclose on the property. If the mortgage was not included- then why wasnt it included.

Can you get a mortgage loan if you are in a chapter 13 bankruptcy?
If you are lucky, yes. But most likely, no lender will give you a mortgage loan if you are or have declared bankruptcy.
How long do you have to wait after declaring bankruptcy to get a mortgage?
I am a Mortgage Loan Consultant and I have made it my area of expertise in working with people with bankruptcies, bad credit, and foreclosures. Firstly you do NOT have to wait 2 years to refinance after a chapter 7 discharge, those are for fannie Mae loans. You can refinance a chapter 7 a day after discharge. A chapter 13 can also be refinanced before discharge since it's on a payment plan for 3-5 years from filing date. You can get a chapter 13 refinance as little as 12 months from filing, not discharge and you can payoff your chapter 13 in the process if you have enough equity in your home. There are major differences between a chapter 13 and chapter 7 refinance but that is for your mortgage broker to be aware of. I work in conjunction with a mortgage broker who is able to get financing for people 12 months out of bankruptcy. I filed bankruptcy in august of 03 and here it is may of 04. I raised my credit scores higher than they were before i filed bankruptcy, but they are still too low. You will only get a mortgage for 70-80% (20-30%down) if you only wait a year. If you wait until it is discharged for 2 years, you will save a ton of money on the downpayment AND on interest. After you file bankruptcy, you need to write letters to everyone you were discharged, so they put on there that you have a zero balance. Keep track of all of this. It is very stressful, but it works. There are several sub-prime mortgage companies who will lend to borrowers one day out of bankruptcy (one day after your discharge).
Can you refinance during Chapter 13 without creditors taking your money if their debt has been satisfied?
Yes. It certainly depends on how long you've been in the chapter 13. Most states say if you have been in the chapter 13 for more than 3 years, you will only have to pay back a percentage of the original balance of the bankruptcy. If you have been in the bankruptcy for less than 3 years, most states make you pay back the bankruptcy in full (100% of the original claims). If a creditor was included in your bankruptcy and they have been paid, you may refinance out of the bankruptcy without the creditors taking your money. Some things to keep in mind: in order to refinance, you have to be granted a "motion for post-petition financing" from the courts. This can take up to 2 months. Once that is granted, your refinance can be completed. Most people have an approval on their loan with a new mortgage company with the only stipulation being that the motion is granted by the court so that there is essentially no lag-time.
If your wife is in a Chapter 13 plan and is the borrower on the mortgage can the husband apply for a refinance loan to pay off the first mortgage?
Yes! The only thing is the chapter 13 will have to be discharged at closing. Depending on how long she has been in the bankruptcy, this may not be a big hassle. It is impossible to refinance a home in a chapter 13 without the BK being discharged. For more information, please feel free to email me at Travis.Fleury@gmail.com.
