“Will I ever be able to buy a home again?”
The answer: Yes, but it takes time and rebuilding.
When Can You Apply?
Most lenders require:
- At least 2 years after discharge
- Re-established credit
- Stable income
What Will Lenders Look For?
- Two active trade lines
- On-time payment history
- Reasonable debt ratios
- Down payment savings
Will Interest Rates Be Higher?
Initially, yes.
But strong rebuilding habits can improve your options over time.
