@Rodney Wright I am a property manager and have a different perspective.

@Gary Wright Taxes are high, cost of living is ridiculous, but at least we have Disneyland.

Thank you Linda, this was very helpful.

@Linda Weygant, thank you for the shout out!

@Linda Weygant, I will definitely circle back with these guys.

@Linda Hastings Perfect! 

@Paul Passafiume$1,000 for all those forms seems fair/decently priced(that is if he is a competent accountant who did as Linda described above).Do you also have a schedule C in there somewhere?

 @Linda CooperHere is the verbiage directly from Fannie Mae:A four-year waiting period is required, measured from the discharge or dismissal date of the bankruptcy action.Exceptions for Extenuating CircumstancesA two-year waiting period is permitted if extenuating circumstances can be documented, and is measured from the discharge or dismissal date of the bankruptcy action.For FHA it's a 3 year wait from the discharge date and there’s quite a few banks and lenders that will do portfolio loans after 2 years of the loan being discharged.I hope this helps and have a great day.
