What are the chances I get a home loan?
I have filed bankruptcy a little over a year ago. I have students loans and 2 credit card bills. I own my car. I have a fair credit score. I make around $26,000/yr. What are the chances I get a loan? Also what is your guess as to how much I would receive?

It would probably be more realistic to go into a rent with option to buy deal.
Fist thing First is to request a copy of your bureau to get your credit score
You are actually in a better financial position because you no longer have money being paid out to creditors
You are in deed debt free
If you have a car note I suggest you pay that off as soon as possible.. make sure you are not creating anymore debt until you get into your home
do not sign a new lease on a car, don not get another credit card.. dont do anything until you get a mortgage loan
There are so many programs for 1st time home buyers and also programs for people in your exact situation.
Call the Urban development office or ask around
I got my home with a government grant they paid for my down payment and I have a very low interest rate
The government as 425 BILLION dollars set aside for small business and home loans all you need to know is how and when to apply for the money.. MY home is a very nice home and every one wonders how I could afford it .. I say its a gift from God .. but that grant really helped
Get to a conference to teach you how to get a grant .. check out the following web site for more information

You filed bankruptcy a year ago?... or you were Discharged a year ago?

First of all, you need to determine your monthly budget on a mortgage, which includes the Principal amount, Interest, property Taxes, and Insurance (aka PITI).

I'd say the first thing you should do is to consult with a mortgage lender. If they cannot help you out, they can at least give you instruction on how to get back on the right track.

Other options for you aside from that would be to look for Owner/Seller Financing, where you would look to the Seller to be the bank. Or, you could possibly pursue a Lease to own option.

Good luck

You can get a loan. It depends on your credit score. Your interest rate will be higher. People can get mortgage 1 day out of Bankruptcy. You have 3 trade lines which is good. Your Debt-to-Income ratio can be as high as 55%. I don't recommend that because the DTI is based of gross before taxes. I hope you have cash on hand.

It depends on the steps you have taken to improve your credit since then. I don't think it will be a problem.

Banks will loan money to anyone - in a reasonable amount vs. value of the home...nothing says that the interest rate has to be reasonable tho.

Look up a mortgage calculator on line to calculate in your closing costs (approx $5K), your down payment, value of home vs. purchase price and figure about an 8% mortgage rate, current bills, etc.

7 1/2 % to 8% interest rate would be the norm one year after a BK.

Good luck!

Yes YOU CAN. You need to look at FHA or and b/c leader. As to what you can get We need more infromation. You should look at and motgage broker and see.

If this will be your first home, there are programs for first-time buyers. Check them out. There's some degree of forgiveness, particularly if there's justification for financial woes in the past. We're just going through home-buying and while our credit histories were fine, we noticed abundance of information around for first-time buyers with less-than-perfect credit histories as they say.
See the article at the link below.

Great- for the craziest interest rate ever.
