Post subject: DIL or short sale |
|
|
| I am severely underwater on my mortgage and have to move. Is a short sale much better than DIL? I've been trying for a short sale for about 4 months and had one buyer walk away because the approval took so long. I haven't been making any payments, and was wondering if DIL would be better for my credit because I won't show as many missed payments. |

Hi Joseph,
A short sale will be less damaging for your credit than a deed-in-lieu. In case of a short sale your credit is lowered by almost 75-100 points. In compaison, a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure will hurt your credit by 250 points. In a deed-in-lieu, however, you will be forgiven the deficiency amount of the loan, while if you short sale you are required to pay that amount. |

Post subject: Deficiency judgment |
|
|
| Hello! There is no way to avoid any deficiency judgment? Are you always liable? I lost my job in NC and found another in FL; wife does not work (still looking) and I am trying to keep both payments, mortgage and rent while I sell my home up in North Carolina. I don't know for how long I could keep mortgage payments. What would be your recommendations either foreclosure or try to modify the loan! I do have a 1st and 2nd mortgage. Thanks for any ideas!! |

Hi A. Reyes,
If you are keen on keeping the property, a loan modification is a good option. It can help you manage your mortgage better as it can make your monthly payments affordable. Thus you can continue paying the mortgage at an affordable and keep the property.
But if you don't want to keep the property, you can go for a short sale instead of a full-fledged foreclosure and save some valuable credit scores. A short sale hurts your credit by only 75-100 points as compared to 250 of more points in case of a forclosure. But, you may be required to pay the deficient amount arising out of the sale of the house. However, loan modification would definitely be a better option, provided you can afford it.
Thanks,
Jerry |

| We own a business. If we do a deed in lieu can the government attach anything to the business? We have 11 properties, and can only keep one... |

Hi Shell,
As far as I know, a deed in lieu is applicable only to a real estate property, not to any business entity. If you intend to do a deed in lieu for your real estate properties, you can surely do that. I don't think the govt. will put a lien on your business in you do deed in lieu for your real estate properties. Moreover, in deed in lieu the deficient amount is forgiven and no lien is attached to your property. |

Hi MARSHA,
I don't think you will have to stay in the house while it is up for sale in the market. Usually, if you miss payments for 3 consecutive months, the lender starts the foreclosure process on the property. |

Hi anonymous,
You can get a deed in lieu on the first mortgage. I don't think getting a deed in lieu on the second will be possible. |

Post subject: DIL |
|
|
| I currently have experienced a drop in my earnings and my wife is out of work. We are currently one month behind going on 2 months at the end of March. When should we start on trying to get a DIL? Also during the DIL do you have to put the property on the market for 90 days? If so will the forecloser come before I can get the DIL completed? |
