My question concerns a house I bought in 2004. I am located in Colorado. The mortgage and title are only in my name. It is the only asset listed as mine, and although I was married at the time, the application documents my status as single.

In 2008, I began renting the property out. Prior to that, my son and daughter-in-law lived there but paid no rent.

My husband has title and mortgage on two other properties obtained in 2008. I am considering allowing the property I am responsible for slip into foreclosure. The loans are interest only, adjustable rate, and the property is worth far less than owed. My question is: Can the banks come after the properties owned by my husband?

Welcome awk,

As your husband's name is not mentioned on the mortgage and title of the said property, the lender will not be able to come after your husband's properties.

Rather than letting the property go into foreclosure, you should apply for a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In this case, you won't be liable for paying the deficient balance resulting from the property sale.
