Buying a house after bankruptcy—bigger down payment or wait it out?

"Could the peace of mind from a detailed inspection outweigh the immediate savings, especially post-bankruptcy when financial stability is crucial?"

Good point here—inspections can save you from nasty surprises down the line. But honestly, don't beat yourself up either way... buying after bankruptcy takes guts, and you're already thinking smart. You've got this.

Definitely agree inspections are worth it, especially post-bankruptcy when every penny counts. One thing I'd add—consider tagging along during the inspection yourself. When we bought our place, I shadowed the inspector and asked a ton of questions... learned a bunch about potential issues and maintenance tips I wouldn't have known otherwise. It helps you prioritize repairs and budget better down the road, which is crucial when finances are tight. Just something to think about.
