My first property: Recent Chapter 7 bankruptcy on file

[Adrian C.]

Hi there,

I’m 34 years old, live in Florida, got divorced recently and have 1.5 year old twins, and have never owned property. Just recently I started listening to the bigger pockets podcasts as I was looking for inspiration and knowledge on how to start owning multiple properties to achieve financial freedoms, and I love them. 

I have been saving up some money for a few months now and my goal is to buy my first property next year (2020). I listen to bigger pockets and am now getting into the forums and blog posts for advice. I also have a mentor who currently owns over 100 properties. However my question or issue is the following: 

Due to the previous circumstances I did file a chapter 7 bankruptcy that was discharged July 2019. Can I still then pursue this venture? And if so how or what are my options?
