I owe $866,000 and my home is worth about $575,000. Does anyone know if I'm covered under the Mortgage Relief Act of 2007 since I live in CA? I have a 1st and a 2nd, both of which were used to purchase my home.

Also, you won't be liable to pay the taxes to IRS due to the California Mortgage Debt Relief Act. However, you would be responsible for paying the second mortgage dues. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success

As adonis said you will be laible to pay the second loan, but if you can do deed in lieu then you may not be laible to pay the deficient amoutn for the second loan The hard part is, gettign both the lenders to agree for deed in lieu
