Here's an article I picked up from Nolo.com regarding "How bankruptcy can help with foreclosure"
http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/article-29631.html

Depending on the type of bankruptcy --- Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 -- that the homeowner filed for, the homeowner may merely have DELAYED the eventual foreclosure.

Note that Chapter 7 CANNOT cancel the foreclosure.

Until that time, if you're looking to buy a foreclosure, better engage a realtor to get you a list of properties that are bank-owned and are actively listed for sale.


Good luck!


Hope this helps.
