Wait at Least Two Years. Hereâs where you will need patience: You should wait at least 24 months after your bankruptcy is discharged to apply for a mortgage. You may be able to get a mortgage sooner but the terms, like interest rates, wonât be as attractive as they would be if you waited two years.
If you qualify, you could buy a house the day after your discharge. If you qualify by having a large down payment, you may find yourself trying to explain to the bankruptcy judge where you got a 15% down payment (around $30,000 for the average house) when your Chapter 7 documents showed a lot less.
