Obtaining a Mortgage After Bankruptcy 

Obtaining a Mortgage After Bankruptcy 

Qualifying for a mortgage loan with a traditional lender can be difficult, but an FHA (Federal Housing Authority) loan is easier to get than other mortgages. Most mortgage lenders require a waiting period after the bankruptcy filing to apply for a loan. There is no waiting period for Chapter 13 bankruptcy and a two-year waiting period for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy with an FHA loan. FHA loans also have fewer credit requirements.
