I am currently working in Iraq as a DOD contactor. I do not have a place of my own in the states, no rental payments. I have payment stubs for 27 months that show I made on avg. $8000.00 per month. I paid for school for my 2 kids with this money. I now have $30000.00 in an online account. I keep maybe $2000 in my checking account. I have an IRS tax lien for $16026 and a state tax lien from NJ for $5818 on my CR. The liens are from 1995. The tax liens were covered under a Chapter 7, according to my lawyer. It was discharged 15 OCT 2003. The IRS is the reason I files BK in the first place. I have 5 accounts that show late payment in 08/07which is when I come over to Iraq. I have 2 collections that I have to fight, both under $300 each. I have 4 CC that I do not have a balance on, I use just one of them for online stuff. I pay a auto loan which is $350 a month. My CR shows that I have 9 revolving accounts, think 5 of them are the ex-wife’s. I was a AU on these accounts. I pulled my 3 scores and they are EQ-657 TU-648 EP-600, the first 2 are from this site and EP is from there site. I want to look at houses in the $100k range with at least $30k down. So do I stand a chance of getting a mortgage? I hope I provided enough info to help the gurus on here. This will be my first home purchase.
I will be with employer until next AUG, then maybe go up to Afgan to work some. Right now I don't know, that is why I am looking for a house now. I just wanted to make sure before I contacted a bank about the loan. I filled out the page here to have a mortgage company contact me, but it has been 3 weeks and no reply from them. But Thank you for the replies. Yeah I almost forgot, I get a W2 every year and get the $87600 income tax free.

It will be my primary residence, as soon as I close I will buy the furniture and my son will move in, he rents his own place now. I will be coming home on R&R from time to time thought out the year. The Job thing, I can stay with this company as long I wish to, just have not decided if I want to go to Afagn. I can stay with this company in the states with the same base pa. In Iraq I get my base pay plus an uplift that equals 75% of my base pay for being in a war zone. Sorry for the confusion on the subject.
