In order to refinance after a Chapter 7 most bank guidelines will be 2 years from discharge date. The credit will have to be reestablished as well. There are some banks with various guidelines that will take a look at refinancing <2 years but not less than 12 months if you can prove the bankruptcy was caused by extenuating circumstances beyond the borrowers control.
