i am not 100% about being able to buy a house, but you CAN keep your house if you already own 1,but you do have to pay any equity in the house to your liquidator.

How long until a bank seizes your house after you file for bankruptcy?

Most banks won't seize your home after bankruptcy. One of the key purposes of bankruptcy is to preserve the living assets and provide the individual with another chance (albeit with a lot less credit flexibility). Note: I am NOT a certified financial planner (CFP) and am NOT licensed to provide financial advice. [opinion] If you are in a situation where foreclosure is on the horizon and you have tried to negotiate with creditors to no avail, you will want to consider bankruptcy in order to hold onto your home. While the debt associated with your mortgage may not be forgiven as a result of the bankruptcy, you WILL force a renegotiation and you WILL keep your home.
