How long after a foreclosure can you get a home loan? Does it take into account the bankruptcy?

Depending on the down payment - some programs will allow you to buy a home One Day out of Foreclosure & Bankruptcy. You're not going to be able to get a loan through from a traditional lender like Quicken or Wells Fargo. You'll need a non-traditional "alternative" or "non-qm" mortgage.
Eric Sandstrom would be able to go over your options with you. But... establishing credit is your best hope. Get a CreditKarma account and a few secured or unsecured credit cards. Keep the credit utilization low, and work on your credit report.

Thank you, we had a foreclosure 2+ yrs ago on a investment property that was discharged in the bankruptcy. I was trying to decide if I would be able to refinance or would I be able to sell my current home and get a mortgage on another home. It will be 3 yrs in May 2019.
This is actually something that I specialize in and as a matter of fact we literally just closed on a home today where a borrower included a home in bankruptcy. The best part about it....the property that was included in bankruptcy hasn't even foreclosed yet!!

If your bankruptcy is older than 4 years, you may qualify for a conventional home loan now. They start as low as 5% down.
Foreclosure time period doesn’t matter when you include the home in bankruptcy. The reason there is this guideline is because in many cases the banks didn’t foreclose until many years later or in this most recent case I funded, haven’t foreclosed at all.
