Replied last May 30, 2021Dear TC, it is always great to hear from clients who stay in touch and let me and Cathy from my staff know they are able to buy a home after bankruptcy. Bankruptcy truly does provide a fresh start and it is true that you can build your credit back up and get a mortgage after Bankruptcy to buy a new home.

Good for you and your family and I was glad to help. -David Doyaga
