Hi eddyincali!

Welcome to forums!

If you walkaway from the property, it would be foreclosed by the lender. You will have to pay the deficient balance resulting from the sale. If the lender forgives the deficient balance, then you would be responsible for paying taxes for the forgiven amount. However, depending upon the Mortgage Debt Relief Act in your state, you may or may not have to pay the taxes.

If you file Chapter 7 and surrender your property, then too the lender would foreclose the property. In both the cases, your credit will be lowered by 250 points. However, in case of bankruptcy, you won't be responsible for paying the deficient amount.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
