BANKRUPTCY MORTGAGE INFORMATION - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

1. You Need to Document Positive Credit Following a Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is the systems way of letting you start over.  If after you start over, you experience additional credit challenges, this will decrease your chances of getting a mortgage approval.

2. Bankruptcy Recovery Takes Time.  Usually a mortgage lender will want to see one year of on time payments following your bankruptcy discharge in order to approve you for a home mortgage.

3. You Should Not Be Treated Unprofessionally Just Because You Had A Bankruptcy.  Don't let anyone treat you like a second class citizen because of your credit. If they do, move on and find a lender worth giving your business to.

4. You Should Ask The Lender If He or She Has Experience With Post Bankruptcy Mortgages.  There is no sense wasting your time with a loan officer that does not know how to present your case to an underwriter or what to ask you for to get your post bankruptcy mortgage to comply with underwriting guidelines.
