A bankuptcy usually stays on your records for a longer period of time, I believe it is 7 or 10 years, so I think that you will have a hard time getting financed right now until more time has passed. Usually the bankruptcy question will come up and they won't even consider you if it has only been a few years.

Welcome to Mortgagefit Ddaltaun,

There are two types of bankruptcy (Chapter 7 and 13). Chapter 7 stays on your credit for 10 years and chapter 13 stays on your record for 7 years. After two years of filing your chapter 7 you would be in a good position to purchase a home. After four years of filing chapter 13 then you will be in a good position to purchase a home. This depends on if you have been making consecutive on time payments for 12 months. You must also show that your income is 2-3 times more than your housing expenses. All these are key elements to the lender. To build up your credit you must purchase a credit card and pay on time for 12 months straight.

Thanks and good luck,
