    Selling and Buying While In Chapter 13

    I was wondering what would be the best path for me. Since I am nearing 60 days late on some of my bills I probably shouldn't be worried about buying a new house at this time...I probably wouldn't qualify anyway since my debt/income ratio is pretty high. What are the chances that once I get established in my Chapter 13 plan I can sell my current home and purchase another one? Any help would be appreciated.

    You can't sell any asset of your bankruptcy estate without prior permission from your trustee. And even if you get permission, finding a lender who will loan you money for a new home while you're in an active Ch 13 is almost impossible.
    I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice nor a statement of the law - only a lawyer can provide those.
