This was originally a second mortgage before the first mortgage was discharged.

I see that a bankruptcy must be discharged for 1-2 years in order to be eligible.

I found out the hard way that if you are literally within 100 miles of a property you already own, then FHA will NOT give you a loan.Here's what you can do.Wait until you get to your next duty station and then use the fha loan  orGet a loan through Navy Federal Credit Union (You do not have to be in the Navy, you simply need to be on active duty in any branch of the military or honorably discharged)....yes they will let you go zero down with no PMI and you can use it while you have a VA loan in place.

Yes, you can but there are some other things that can affect your eligibility like type of discharge.  

@Gabriel JerohSaying "in Chapter 13" isn't saying if the bankruptcy has been discharged or not.At the time of filing until the discharge, the Bankruptcy Code provides an automatic stay that prohibits creditors from obtaining any money or property.

Discharged at age 20 and started reading about real estate.

Nothing to do with BK directly but can be affected by BK - as a discharged debt can not have a deficiency sought.  

If John has no equity he can ask the IRS to discharge the lien and allow the sale.  

However, generally speaking, a Bankruptcy Trustee can declare a specific debt as non-dischargeable through bankruptcy due to "Fraud" on the part of the Debtor.
