Once you have filed bankruptcy or lost your home to foreclosure (which one of the 2 seem to be our only option right now-for more information on that you can see my thread "Foreclosure, Bankruptcy or Sell for Less")

Hopefully once you meet with the bankruptcy lawyer you will know where you stand as far as being able to file.

I have always been able to rent with bad credit and/or bankruptcy on my reports.

I was able to rent an apartment after only a few months of filing BK. I did rent from an individual rather than a rental agency. Also I know the laws around BK have changed since 1998 (when I filed) but I filed CH 13 and was able to keep my car (as long as I was making on time payments).

Please do let us know what the lawyer says and good luck!
