With this high credit score you can get a mortgage a lot earlier, if the purchase price of the property supports the appraisal or vice versa and your income supports the future payments.

How do you remove a home loan from you credit report after bankruptcy it was listed on Bankruptcy.?

Bankruptcy information (and other legal actions like judgments) may stay on a credit report for up to ten years after the fact. If your credit report still reflects a bankruptcy after ten years, create a dispute/update request with the associated credit reporting company and include proof that the bankruptcy is older than ten years old (the state record of the original date of bankruptcy action is typically all of the proof one needs). Negative items (including home loans that may have been forgiven) may stay on your credit report for up to seven years after the occurrence, regardless of bankruptcy status. Similar to the process above, if there is negative information on your credit report after seven years, one can request an update/modification of the credit report by providing appropriate proof.

Can you purchase a home after you file bankruptcy and surrender your current home?

After your discharge, you can purchase a home at any time. If you pay cash, you may have some serious problems explaining where the money came from and why it was not reported in the bankruptcy documents. If you apply to borrow, you will have trouble qualifying for a mortgage, since credit score will be low, due to the bankruptcy and the poor credit you had prior to filing. You will have to be serious about repairing your credit score, and it will take 3-4 years for you to do that.
