If you are 2-3 years out of discharge, then you are good on that requirement. You would need to have re-established credit and sufficient income. Also if they home has not been foreclosed on, it could haunt you later when they do on your credit. If the credit only shows the bk then you are ok, if it shows a recent foreclosure, then you have to wait 3 years from foreclosure.

Hi eze,

There are chances that you may face difficulties in qualifying for a mortgage as the property is still in your name. When you apply for a loan, the lender will want you to sell off the existing property. But again, as Chris says, if the property goes into foreclosure, then you need to wait for another 3-4 years in order to qualify for a mortgage.

Thanks
