I am wondering how long it takes to recuperate from bankruptcy.

We are experiencing high foreclosure rates and I am wondering the impact on people going through this. Is bankruptcy something permanently stamped on your credit history? Is there any chance for these people to get over a huge personal event like bankruptcy?

In terms of getting mortgage financing, you will have to wait three years before you will be able to get another property.

Eric, I saw the headline of your post "I am wondering how long it takes to recuperate from bankruptcy" and thought to myself I thought Eric was doing pretty well selling property. I was going to offer to lend you a few bucks:-)

Bankruptcy & Foreclosure are entirely different issues. Foreclosure (and short sales) stamped on your credit will make it very difficult to buy a home for some time - typically 2-3 years. Bankruptcy is something entirely different - most lenders will want to see 2 years after the discharge of the BK before they will consider a borrower. Up until 6 months ago there were one day out BK programs, but hose have disappeared w/ the sub-prime bust.
