In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, borrowers typically reorganize their debts and may be able to include the repayment of private mortgage insurance (PMI) in their repayment plan. However, it ultimately depends on the specific terms of the bankruptcy plan and the court's approval. If the PMI is tied to the mortgage, it may need to be repaid, while other debts may be discharged. It's advisable for borrowers to consult with their bankruptcy attorney for tailored advice.
If you are lucky, yes. But most likely, no lender will give you a mortgage loan if you are or have declared bankruptcy.
Here is the short answer.........No. No lender will allow this. Lenders want you to be out of Bankruptcy.This is what I do refinance people out of bankruptcy early or arrange refinancing so that my clients can avoid bankruptcy or forclosure altogether. that is what you must do in order to refi your mortgage regardless of the mortgage status with your bankruptcy plan
The Short Answer is 3 years before you can obtain an FHA insured mortgage and 5 years before you can obtain a "conforming" mortgage. Conforming simply meaning that it conforms to Fannie Mae guidelines. These time constraints are dictated by the FORECLOSURE not the Bankruptcy. Guidelines for Bankruptcy will allow you to obtain an FHA-insured mortgage in as little as 12 months from FILING with Chapter 13 and 24 Months after discharge with Chapter 7. The Chapter 13 can still be OPEN but you must get the courts permission to enter into the transaction.The key to your scenario will be the loan size you need. FHA has loan limits set by County.Below is the "long answer"Previous Mortgage Foreclosure. A borrower whose previous principal residence or other real property was foreclosed or has given a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure within the previous three years is generally not eligible for a new FHA-insured mortgage. However, if the foreclosure was the result of documented extenuating circumstances that were beyond the control of the borrower and the borrower has re-established good credit since the foreclosure, the lender may grant an exception to the three-year requirement. Extenuating circumstances include serious illness or death of a wage earner, but do not include the inability to sell the house because of a job transfer or relocation to another area.Bankruptcy. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy (liquidation) does not disqualify a borrower from obtaining an FHA-insured mortgage if at least two years have elapsed since the date of the discharge of the bankruptcy. Additionally, the borrower must have re-established good credit or chosen not to incur new credit obligations. The borrower also must have demonstrated a documented ability to responsibly manage his or her financial affairs. An elapsed period of less than two years, but not less than 12 months, may be acceptable if the borrower can show that the bankruptcy was caused by extenuating circumstances beyond his or her control and has since exhibited a documented ability to manage his or her financial affairs in a responsible manner. Additionally, the lender must document that the borrower's current situation indicates that the events that led to the bankruptcy are not likely to recur.A Chapter 13 bankruptcy does not disqualify a borrower from obtaining an FHA-insured mortgage provided the lender documents that one year of the payout period under the bankruptcy has elapsed and the borrower's payment performance has been satisfactory (i.e., all required payments made on time). In addition, the borrower must receive permission from the court to enter into the mortgage transaction.
no you dont have to
Has to
Yes it is possible to qualify for a mortgage despite a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing. In a Chapter 13 filing the debtor agrees to a court structured debt repayment schedule. Typically, after making payments on time to creditors as required by the bankruptcy agreement an individual can be discharged by the Court from the Chapter 13 proceeding. Once discharged from bankruptcy an individual can apply for a mortgage. Each bank has different rules about how soon someone can apply for a mortgage after a bankruptcy. Most people coming out of bankruptcy apply for an FHA mortgage loan since this program has the most lenient underwriting standards.
In most states, YES
If you wreck your car after filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy you can file it on your insurance. You can then replace your car based on the bankruptcy order.
Bankruptcy. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy (liquidation) does not disqualify a borrower from obtaining an FHA-insured mortgage if at least two years have elapsed since the date of the discharge of the bankruptcy. Additionally, the borrower must have re-established good credit or chosen not to incur new credit obligations. The borrower also must have demonstrated a documented ability to responsibly manage his or her financial affairs.

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy does not disqualify a borrower from obtaining an FHA-insured mortgage provided the lender documents that one year of the payout period under the bankruptcy has elapsed and the borrower's payment performance has been satisfactory (i.e., all required payments made on time). In addition, the borrower must receive permission from the court to enter into the mortgage transaction. You can buy anything you want. But getting a loan is a different story. You should understand the difference. All things, including your mortgage HAD to BE included in your BK or you committed fraud and lied to the court Criminal acts. Also not good for getting anyone to loan you money. In today's and any reasonable expectation of the future's lending environment...where even excellent credit and history requires scrutiny and more...you, a bankrupt that hasn't paid prior obligations nor apparently even understand that you don't actually buy and own something until you pay for it...have little chance of finding someone to lend you money for some time. Well, maybe at much more of a cost than those that understand these basic concepts would agree to pay and know they could afford. You now become a good mark for predatory lenders. The 2nd answer above seems to be more of a moral answer than a legit answer. The reality is that you CAN file bankruptcy and keep the mortgage outside of the bankruptcy. We help clients every single month that have had the misfortune of filing either a chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy obtain a mortgage financing. These are FHA-insured mortgages that are 30 year FIXED rates with low closing costs! After all the costs are regulated by HUD.
Your mortgage should have been included in your chapter 7 discharge. If it was- then you are no longer liable for the mortgage, but the lender can still foreclose on the property. If the mortgage was not included- then why wasnt it included.
If the lender is willing to reaffirm the loan with the borrower then the vehicle can be returned. A vehicle is a secured debt and is not subject to chapter 7 bankruptcy laws.
No. Such a law would violate bankruptcy law, which prohibits discrimination by reason of bankruptcy. The problem is usually getting a mortgage because of credit scores, which include many factors including the reasons for filing bankruptcy.
