So, after a bankrupcy you wont have great credit for a pretty long while, so I still stand behind mycomment about not being able to get a morgage. Because morgage companies were giving loans so easy in the past is why the big banks have fallen, the goverment wont make that mistake again, Greenspan said it himself.
    FHA. 97.75% Loan-to-Value Then you can ask the seller to pay up to 6% seller concessions and get 3% of your closings costs paid by Down Payment Assistance Programs. So NO...you do not need 25% down.

    FHA exists in every county in every state (including NY!).

    The only reason he would have to wait 12 months after his BK is because that is an FHA guideline. Sounds like he is keeping up fairly well now. Declare BK (don't include the house and mortgage!) and keep paying your bills until your attorney tells you all accounts are frozen and can no longer be declared late. Come out of the BK check your credit and make sure everything that should be included in the BK reports as such. Go to your bank, deposit $1,000, and open up a secured credit card against the money. Use it each month and pay it back in full each month. Continue to monitor your credit every 4-5 months. After 12 months is up go see a mortgage company that is FHA approved.

    Then send me my consultant fee!!!!

    LOL Ive done all of the above , already spoken to many people my friend, next is the secure credit card (sadly Ive done that when I was younger once already). Honestly I would be shocked about the morgage, my own lawyer told me 2 years, but Ive had friends try recently without BK try to get morgages and were denied. Im not going to argue with you, but I dont think a year later will be soon enough for banks that are on the brink of going under because of none payment on so many morgages to lend recently BK borrower $400G. Maybe in the future I will speak to you about some ideas, but Ill only trade you training and diet advice for your time, going to be tight with my money from here on in.
