If you own a home and you have made your payments on time to the bankruptcy trustee, you may be able to complete your bankruptcy very quickly. There are several thinks that must be considered. It is very important that you work with a Mortgage Lender who has a lot of experience in this type of refinance.

If you have equity in your home you may be able to do a cashout refinance of the home and use the cash you take out to pay off the bankruptcy.

This will require the approval of the bankruptcy trustee. Normally the best option for someone who wishes to do a cashout transaction is an FHA loan. You can get an interest rate that is aggressive and you will not have a prepayment penalty.

Another factor is how long you have been in the bankruptcy.
