Stacey asked:


I was told by an attorney that foreclosure and bankruptcy on a mortgage is 2 different things. I know that you can not apply for another mortgage for 5 years after a foreclosure and that after a bankruptcy you can apply in 18 - 24 months but does it make a difference if there was a mortgage involved in that bankruptcy. My mortgage was never reaffirmed after my bankruptcy neither.

Mortgage Bankruptcy and immediately purchasing a smaller home with a cosigner?

Thursday, June 17th, 2010
tobismom asked:


I am recently divorced and left with two mortgages, credit card debt, student loans, a son to take care of, and no child support. If I can sell my house, I will be lucky to break even. I am considering bankruptcy and including my house to simply walk away and let the bank have the keys. I have a good job, but am so buried by debt right now I am living off credit cards. Currently all of my payments are current on the house and credit cards, but I can’t keep that up.

Understanding that bankruptcy does not include student loans, can anyone give me some advice on if this is the right thing to do? Additionally, would I then be able to purchase a small townhouse to move into with my son if my parents are willing to cosign the new mortgage with me?

Thanks for any suggestions!!!!
Please note:
-there is no equity in my home between the two mortgages. Zero.
- I have a child support order, but am not getting a dime
- I have just deferred my student loans for 6 months

 

Can someone who has declared bankruptcy still be approved as a co signer on an apartment rental?

Friday, April 2nd, 2010
Alana asked:


My father has recently declared bankruptcy because he ran up an overwhelming amount of credit card debt. He does make a very good monthly salary though. I am trying to rent an apartment and I need a co signer. Even though his credit is bad, he still meets the income qualification. Do you think he would be approved as my co signer?
