planning for mortgage in the future

Here is a general outline of my situation:


Ch. 7 BK Discharge 10/2012 (strategic due to medical and start of business)
Current Mortgage included in Bankruptcy however I have continued to pay and stay (was not behind prior to filing)
Current Mortgage was not reaffirmed. 
Current mortgage had a first and a HELOC acting as a second.  Both indicate IIB on my credit reports.
AFTER filing and BEFORE discharge, I settled the HELOC with the lender for less than balance owed due to attorney advice.

Employment:  Self Employed since 9/2011  (income comes from a combination of foreign wire transfers, as well as domestic). All verifiable per my local credit union statements.
Income for 2014 will be $136,000 minimum
Income for 2015 will be $150,000 minimum (projected - client contracts signed for indications)

I have approx. $35,000 in liquid assets in savings account.

Installment Debt:  $300/month (auto) $24,000 balance
Credit Cards:  $37,000 available credit - only keep $200 revolving per month

FICO Credit Scores (as of today)  Experian:667  Equifax: 666  Trans:  648

Purchase Price:  $420-$430k  FHA Loan Limits in my county is $362k

When can I get a mortgage?  I’ve been told multiple things.  How can I best align myself for success?
