Hi Guest,
It would be a good option to apply for a deed in lieu with your lender if you are unable to pay off the loan. If your request is accepted, then you won't be liable for the deficient balance resulting from the sale of the property.
Hi billy,
It is not late to apply for a deed in lieu. If you are unable to pay the loan, you can definitely apply for it. Depending upon your present financial situation, the lender will let you know whether or not he would accept your request.
Take care. _________________ Find me at FB: http://www.facebook.com/people/Sara-Jones/100002976822020 |

Post subject: Consequences of Deed in Lieu with Private Mortgage |
|
|
I own a property but it has a private mortgage. If a re-mortgage I have to come to closing with $30,000 due to the low appraisal value it was placed on the property due to market conditions here in South Fl.
If I give the property back with a Deed in Lieu to a private mortgage held by a couple, what are my tax consequences and how does this affect my credit? My mortgage balloned this month and I don't see light at the end of the tunnel. Please help. |

Hi Vicky!
Welcome to forums!
If your lender accepts the deed in lieu of foreclosure, then they have the rights to report it to the credit bureau. This will affect your credit score badly and it will be lowered by 250 points. This will remain as a negative mark on your credit report for the next 7 years. However, the lender won't be able to come after you for the deficient balance.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

| I did a deed in lieu in December and I have been out of my property since Jan 1, and the mortgage co told me I was free and clear and would not owe them any money- now a second party collection agency just sent me a letter saying I owe the mortgage co $26,000 and should send them payment immediately- please tell me this is a scam and I am not liable for any back payment. I just want the nightmare to finally end- thank you for all of your help! |

Hi Billy,
After a deed in lieu, the lender will not be able to come after you for the deficient balance. The lender forgives the deficient balance. I think that the collection agency can be a scam. You can ask the collection agency to validate your debts. You may even contact an attorney who may help you in dealing with them.
Hi comso,
If you go for a deed in lieu, you won't be liable for the balance amount resulting from the sale. However, if you walkaway from the property, then the lender would foreclose your home and you'll have to pay the balance amount to the lender. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success |

| I pay PMI in Florida and the bank might not agree to a deed in lieu, then I would suffer the amount after forclosure. What means do I have to make the bank accept the DIL ? Or how do they chase me in Michigan ? |

Hi!
Welcome to forums!
To Cosmo,
Depending upon your financial situation, the lender would let you know whether or not he would accept your deed in lieu of foreclosure. If you can convince your lender about your financial hardship, then he would accept it. Once the lender accepts your request, he would forgive the deficient balance resulting from the sale. Thus, the lender won't chase you in Michigan for the balance debt.
To Guest,
The lender will start foreclosure procedure if you do not make payments for 3 months in a row. After the foreclosure sale is over, you would get a 3 days notice to leave the property. You will have to move out of the property within that time period.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

| What happens to the 2nd mortgage if I do the deed-in-lieu transfer? Do I have to take out a personal loan to pay off the 2nd mortgage? |

Though you apply for a deed in lieu with your first lender, you would still be responsible for the second loan. You will have to pay it off. You can take out a personal loan in order to do so. _________________ Good is the Enemy of Great. |

Hi xbrooklyngrl,
If there is a second mortgage, then you will have to pay off the second mortgage dues to the lender though the first lender pursues a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The second mortgage lender will not forgive his dues.
Thanks |

After a deed in lieu of foreclosure, you may get a notice from your lender to leave the property within 3 days. You will have to move out of the property within that period of time. Thus, it's better to find a house as soon as you apply for a deed in lieu. _________________ Good is the Enemy of Great. |
