Mortgage and Bankcruptcy?
DH and I would like to sell his childhood home to my SIL. She however went bankrupt last year. Her debt-to-income ratio is really good and she makes a very good salary. Can she qualify for a mortgage with the bankruptcy on her record?
She wouldn't be putting a dowpayment on the house but we'd be selling it to her for the value of the existing mortgage which is 40% off the estimated value of the property.
TIA

Since the BK was only last year, I highly doubt anyone will give her a mortgage. I think she'll have to wait a few years for that...

I think the best thing for her to do is to call up a bank and ask.

She is only going to be able to get an fha loan...not sure if it's 2 or 3 years after the bk
She will also need perfect credit since the bk...
If you go to the fha website you will be able to get the info

Re: Mortgage and Bankcruptcy?
Thank you ladies!
I had found some articles but they were from the height of the boom so I didn't think the info would be accurate at this point.
I am going to have her ask the bank and have DH go with her. I'll check out the FHA site also.
Thanks!

Re: Mortgage and Bankcruptcy?
What about just drawing up some documents that has her making the payments to you guys directly? Just long enough until she does qualify for a traditional mortgage?

This is what I was going to say. Do a Purchase Money Mortgage
