Quick answer

Bankruptcy doesn’t end your VA loan eligibility — it changes the timing. Here’s the waiting-period rulebook for Kansas veterans.

What Kansas buyers in this situation should know

Chapter 7 bankruptcy: typically a 2-year wait from the discharge date.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy: 12 months of on-time payments can qualify you, with court approval. Full discharge is not required.
Foreclosure (including VA foreclosure): typically a 2-year wait.
Re-established credit matters. After seasoning, lenders look for at least three re-established trade lines and on-time payments across the board.
Each case is individual. Kansas Mortgage Lending reviews every post-bankruptcy VA file against current VA and lender overlay guidelines.
