Re: foreclosurer
Bankruptcy stay on the record for seven years, I have seen foreclosures on the credit report for that time period or longer.
As far as when you can buy a new house, some of the more agressive lenders only look back 24 months, so after 24 months of a good rental record and other bills paid on time you should be okay in getting a new mortage however you will pay a higher interest rate and need a larger down payment.
