Basically there is nothing preventing you for buying a house at any time. Of course, getting a loan, while your not prevented from it, is going to be very, very difficult..and if you haven't learned from your past - buying isn't really done until you actually pay for it.
about a year or two
No.
When you have the money
5 years
They buy loans that are on their way to bankruptcy, repossession, or in a long state of defaulted payments. They are almost impossible to reach.
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.
2 years for an FHA loan
If you have filed bankruptcy because you cannot afford to pay your debts, a lender will not loan you money to purchase a house and it just doesn't make sense. You cannot continue to acquire assets while your assets are frozen and in the possession of the trustee in bankruptcy in a bankruptcy proceeding.
The chapter 13 petitioner/participant must receive the approval of the bankruptcy trustee for all major financial transactions.
Yes, provided you use ONLY your credit for the loan.
You can buy a house in any state. Some people own houses in several different states.
The day you get your discharge paper. I do caution against that because ANY bad mark after a bankruptcy is taboo and you will not be able to finance anything for a long time.
