Absolutely! 2yrs after you discharge a chapter 7 BK, you are eligible to refinance with many "sub-prime" lenders, who lend money to people in your particular situation. The best thing for you to do is contact a mortgage broker, like myself, who can research what program would fit your financial situation the best. If your goal is lower payments and greater flexibility, the sooner you act, the closer you are to building your credit history back to where you would like it to be.
After a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you typically need to wait at least four years to refinance with a traditional mortgage lender.

It’s advisable to check with your lender for specific guidelines and to confirm your eligibility for refinancing options.
