Hi chrisgg
I can understand your situation. Both deed in lieu and short sale are similar processes wherein the lender will sell the property and recover the debts. In case of short sale, you will have to pay the deficient amount resulting from the sale of the property to the lender. However, you credit will not be much affected due to this. It will lower by 75-100 points. So if you want to save your credit you can look for short sale.
If your credit score is not important to you, then you can go for a deed in lieu. In this process, the lender will forgive the deficient amount but you will have to pay taxes on it. Moreover your credit will also be lowered by 250 points.
Thanks.

| I purchased my home with downpayment assistance. I have a $25K state bond as well as a 1st with a lender. if I do a deed in lieu and the sale of the home is not enough to cover the state bond, what happens to that obligation? will I be reliable for that? |

| hey, in deed in lieu the deficient amount is forgiven by the lenders. I guess the amount owed on state bonds will also be forgiven. It's better if you can check out with your lender. |

| Is the borrower still liable for the difference between what the mortgage is for and what the home is worth? |

Hi,
To NC G,
As far as I know, yes, deed in lieu is available in all the states.
To scary,
In a deed in lieu, the lender forgives the deficient amount resulting from the sale of the property. However, you should remember that you will be liable to pay taxes on that deficient amount.
Thanks.

Hey pab,
As far as I know, you do not need to live in the house for which you want to file a deed in lieu. If you are delinquent on payments, you can apply for a deed in lieu. However, it will be discretion of the lender whether he will accept a deed in lieu or not. To know more about deed in lieu, check out the following link:

| Thanks!! We are not late on the mortgage. Being late would make our credit card rates rise. Will a deed in lieu make them rise also? |

| It may or may not affect your credit cards Pab. I guess it varies from lender to lender. |

| I have a home that is worth more than the loan. Due to the death of my husband, my income has been cut more than half. I cannot offer the home and have made payments from life insurance money. Bank has already modified payment once. I do not want to loose remaining amt of life ins on a home that I will get no equity from. It has been on the market for 6 mos with no luck. What should I do?? |

A deed in lieu lowers your credit score by 250 points. It is same with a foreclosure as well. A foreclosure remain in your credit report for at least 5 years from completion date and if you want to take a mortgage between 5 and 7 years, then you can only purchase a personal residence and you will have to give a minimum of 10% down. After 7 years you can get normal rates. A deed in lieu remains on the credit report for 4 years from completion date and it also requires a 10% down payment between years 4 and 7.
Thanks |
