FIRST ANSWER

Assuming you've resolved the issue(s) that caused you to file for bankruptcy, you next step should be to do the following: if you're not already working with a credit cleansing/counseling firm, then you should do that first. After you've spent some time working with that firm to help improve your credit, then you'll be in a better position to buy a new home.

You might also look into purchasing a home with a lease-option, and you should speak with a realtor in your area to learn more about this option.
