Quote from @Michael Buckley:

Thanks Mary,

It's 7 years from the date you file, so 2 years after you've paid it off. I did chapter 13. I'm 4 years into it and my credit score is in the low 7's so I've worked really hard to repair and rebuild my credit. I'm looking forward to real estate investing I just have a lot to learn, as you suggested,


Hi there. It's been 3 years since you posted about your question about investing while in Ch13 Bankruptcy. I'm very curious how it all played out in the end for you, and what you know now that you could tell yourself back then.

Just curious, what was the answer to your initial question?

@Asia Jones  Yay!  Now you see why renting to family/friends is a MAJOR NO NO!  Sad but a relief for you, I'm sure!

@Asia Jones

Ok. Think hard on this one. The PM company are in business. They are a *business*! They need to conduct themselves like one. They carry (or should) Errors & Ommissons Insurance for this very reason! Also, you definitely need to immediately contact an attorney, at least for consultation. Corporate and Real Estate Attorneys can be expensive but they are there to strategize on your behalf to help you navigate legal waters which could in the long run cost you your home, your business, and basically your financial life. So get their opinion. And also, the PM needs to receive at minimum, a threatening demand letter from you and/or the attorney demanding they pay and correct the situation in a hasty way. You may have to ask for a later closing date. I think by your cousin allowing the showing of the property those few times, he indirectly signed off on the house being sold and forfeit any lease termination payments to him. But that's one for the attorney to consider. Good luck! Give us an update when there is one.

Just curious, what gives you this concern? You as the wholesaler won't own it; you'll just be putting the property under contract and assign it to an investor who will be the one purchasing it, who will then be the one concerned with all the bills.
