The best time to purchase a new home after filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy depends on how long your bankruptcy will be. If you have your payments on a five year plan, then you may have to wait a little longer.
yes, I did.
There is no statutory amount needed to file bankruptcy. With the new bankruptcy reform it may be difficult to file a Chapter 7 if the person has even a small amount of expendable/nonexempt assets. One of the objectives of the new BK regs. is to require more debtors to file a Chapter 13 rather than a 7.

The day you get your discharge paper. I do caution against that because ANY bad mark after a bankruptcy is taboo and you will not be able to finance anything for a long time.
How soon after filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, can you file either Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 Banruptcy again?
Some strict limitations have been set by the new bankruptcy law. Debtors will not be able to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy if they've been through a Chapter 7 within eight years of the new filing. If they want to file for Chapter 13, they will not receive a discharge within two years of a previous Chapter 13 discharge and within four years if they were discharged from a Chapter 7, 11 or 12 bankruptcy.
While in a Chapter 13, all major financial transactions need the approval of the bankruptcy trustee.

Not if the debt was officially discharged in the bankruptcy.

If you filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and buy a car before the discharge is issued, there's no impact on your case. If you're in Chapter 13, however, your disposable income post-filing until discharge may be considered property of the estate; in addition, if you're financing the new car then you likely need to have the court's permission before entering into the financing agreement.
In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, assets of a business are sold to help pay back their debts. In Chapter 11, businesses can keep their assets and try to negotiate new terms with their creditors.
