How soon after a foreclosure do I have to wait before I can get another home & what steps need to be taken?

Robert K asked:
Due to some unforeseen medical problems and the laziness of our wonderful workers compensation board my wife and I were “forced” into foreclosure. We miss having a house and want to get into another one within the next year and a half or so. I’ve had a steady job for almost 7 years and my wife is still out of work due to medical reasons but has steady income from SSI and comp. What do I need to do to get another house?

well, forclosures only stay on your record for 7 years so go online to the following credit bureaus:
Experian.com
Transunion.com
equifax.com
and you can get a credit report from any one of them to see if it is on there. You can also buy your score and see what you would need to do in order to improve your score so that you can move into a house. good luck!
