Theoretically and technically yes. In practice, it's very unlikely to actually happen; the point of bankruptcy is that you liquidate your assets except for a small "exempt" amount and use the proceeds to partially satisfy your creditors. You shouldn't have enough left over afterwards to use to purchase a home.

How long does someone have to wait before they can get a loan on their own after a bankruptcy is discharged?

This depends on the type of loan you are referring to and the lender. Mortgage lenders typically want a person to have 12 months clear credit history after a bankruptcy has been Discharged (not filed). Automobile and credit card lenders like the same, but there may be exceptions. The best thing is to ask, without allowing your credit to be pulled. The only thing I would add to the other posting is..Beware of predatory lenders. The type who have ads that read "bankruptcy, bad credit, no problem", or something of that nature. IMO, they are loan sharks, and you need to be extremely cautious.


Can you refinance your house while you are in a chapter 13 bankruptcy?

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.

I own real estate with a non-spouse family member This person is going to file bankruptcy How will that affect your part ownership of this real estate?

It it a house? If so, and it is the home of the relative; no problem. It it a house? If so, and it is the home of the relative; no problem. I assume by own, you mean you are both on the mortgage...This would mean that when they list their assests in the bankruptcy, they will put the house into it as well. You would need to refinance to get the other party off the loan/deed of trust.

If you sell your home after foreclosure proceedings have started and you have a discharged bankruptcy on the home will you receive the proceeds?

I'm guessing what your saying: You went BK and reaffirmed the mortgage. The BK with the reaffirmation was discharged and you kept the home. Your now behind again and being foreclosed. Of course you can still sell the house - you still own it and your not now under any BK court restraint. To effect the sale, you have to pay off the mortgage (and any other liens) against the house in the closing.

It is, like everything you owe and everything you own, included. Must be. Again, in BK everything is in...no pick and choosing. You cannot go Bk on the mobile alone. Or leave the car out.
