There is a very large walk-in closet in the master, a 5' long closet in the guest, and they both access a laundry chute.

In my case it was discharged, which is good however this doesn't mean the case is closed.

There were several other tax sale liens, second mortgages, and a federal lien, and all were paid off/discharged.  

The current principal remaining is ~$310,000In my last discussion with the local bank rep, he said the bank is almost always willing to discharge a property out from under the umbrella if there is an appropriate reduction in loan principal from the sale.

The discharge of the mortgage needs to be recorded at the Registry of Deeds.

It's the date from when the chapter is discharged, not filed for.  

What I'm,told is that once it's on your report as discharged by original credit, that paying it off does not increase your score.

I'm checking some other sources but does anyone know who is discharging loans from Mortgage Lenders Network (now bankrupt) and out of business?

IFAIK you cannot get a mortgage until 4 years after the discharge date.

However, the length of the actual waiting period for refiling and being eligible for another discharge can depend on other factors, such as the type/chapter of bankruptcy filed the first time and the type/chapter of bankruptcy if refiling.
