There are generally waiting periods of at least two years from the discharge of the bankruptcy.

or a judge will discharge it.

In 2013, I was in the process of getting divorced with my first wife who cheated on me, I was accused and convicted of a crime I never committed. and unfortunately, I made some stupid decisions and wound up bankrupting twice for trying to find an easy way out of my attorney fees($25,000). my bankruptcy discharges in June 2020, so it's very hard to be considered with an opened bankruptcy and a dented credit score. but, in June 2020, I am I am a motivated future real estate investor who has just started reading the bigger pockets books(great books) and am currently saving money to purchase my first fourplex in June 2020. as I am waiting, I received a General Manager promotion at my job and my credit score is also at its highest since 2010, and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good book that may help me with advice with my new and foreign promotion?

Achieved my EIB, Airborne, Air Assault, tabs and honorably discharged as a E5.

He has a bankruptcy recently discharged, involving $8,000 in liabilities, much of which was to payday loan companies.

noobdog1 -- Wheatie shoud have said that an owners title insurance policy will cover any problems and something that you really should get on a property that you know has liens that were discharged and may have more floating out there.

If the seller files BK, you can still work the short sale but you can't buy/sell it until it's been discharged.

They filed bankruptcy which delayed the process and the actual discharge wast' until June of 2016.  

Once the BK is discharged the banks can continue to foreclose or short sale.If a sale date is not yet set you have a good chance to get a short sale approved.

Ask your lender what needs to happen, due to the Bk discharge; do you simply need it out of your name, etc.
