investmnt fast forward to 2020 we want to apply for a loan do we use our discharge date or the forclosure date from the investment property ?
A: It typically takes about a two year period from the date of the filing of your case (not discharge) in order to be approved for a FNMA or VA mortgage. Your mortgage broker may have a different opinion of course and these policies do change from time to time. I wish you the best of luck in re-establishing your credit. There is absolutely no reason for you not to be well on the path to financial security.
