Waiting Period for Mortgage Debt Discharged through Bankruptcy
If a mortgage debt has been discharged through bankruptcy, even if a foreclosure action is subsequently completed to reclaim the property in satisfaction of the debt, the borrower is held to the bankruptcy waiting periods and not the foreclosure waiting period. This applies to Conventional loans.
