The next step would be to talk with your bank, credit union or mortgage broker to find out if you can indeed obtain a mortgage while in an active Chapter 13.Originally posted by bigdre View PostBeen in Chapter 13 for 2 years now wanted to know can i buy a house while in bankruptcy?

I'm not an attorney. My replies are merely suggestions or observations, not legal advice. As always, consult with an attorney before making any decisions. -
FHA permits loan guarantees after just a single, successful year in a Chapter 13 repayment plan:
However, most lenders will have stricter guidelines, and you'll have to meet the strictest guideline presented. There are SOME lenders, however, who will finance a mortgage if you otherwise qualify.
Thus, it's extremely important to find a loan officer of mortgage broker experienced in shepherding BK filers through the mortgage process. Without such experience, many will simply tell you it isn't possible. It isn't EASY, but it IS possible!Comment

So you're in an active 13 and haven't been making the payments on your truck? Sorry to tell you, but your credit will be dinged yet again for defaulting on your auto loan. I wish you luck obtaining a mortgage, but this will make it that much harder for you.Filed Ch 13 - 2/2010
