    Hello,

    you could have applied and gotten approved for a home loan one day after your BK was discharged.

    At this point, you can get into a home but you would need about 10% down. If you want to wait another year and 1/2 you can possibly get into a government loan as long as you keep your credit clean from now on.

    If you need additional info, let me know

    Thanks
    HMC
