FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION # 19 [ -more VA Loan questions- ] - - - - - - Q: Bankruptcy and VA Eligibility - What happens if I file bankruptcy and wish to buy another home at some point?
A: Veterans who file for bankruptcy are still allowed to use a VA home loan if they are eligible. Unfortunately the process does require a waiting period. You are allowed to purchase another home two years after the "discharge date" of your bankruptcy. Keep in mind that the filing date does not factor in-you must wait the two years after bankruptcy has been discharged. Once you are eligible to buy another home, the usual credit and income requirements apply.
