Hi bebe,

Welcome to the forum.

Now first of all I will like say that it is deed in lieu of foreclosure nor "deed and leau". Now the credit effect depends on various things and it is not that always the credit effect will be the same but generally deed in lieu of foreclosure remains on your credit report for 10 years and drops almost 200 to 280 points.

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Best of luck,
Larry

Hi Bebe...yes..Larry is right it's not a pretty picture on the credit report. Most lenders are going to treat you like you have gone bankrupt when you go to purchase your next home as well which means to get your next home financed you will have a higher interest rate and have to put at least 20% down or more. You could look into renting a home with a lease to purchase option and make all your payments on time - pay by check & keep track of the cancelled checks as the lender will request this when you are ready to purchase.

Hope this helps... Very Happy

yourbestmtg. has come up with a pretty good idea there. I know some people that go this way alot. Not all of them with bad crdit either. They start out renting and then the person decides to get out of the business and offers the renter option to buy. Some people do it with plans of it being just a starter home and others stay in it for years. Either way at least the rent money is not just going out the window.

True fireyone, the only time that I rented was when I was in the service because I knew that I was not going to be there long at one place. Once I got out, I purchased. I did not want to be paying rent on something that I could be paying a mortgage on, just sounded silly to me.

It really is a waste of money especially with rent costing just as much as a mortgage. I can see if your not where you want to be in life or young, that is a different story. Another thing that makes no sense to me is leasing a vehicle. Never got the point in that either. Had an uncle who leased with option to buy and the vehicle was almost as much as it was the day he leased it. Goes to show...you really can learn from other peoples mistakes.

Yeah, it is truly a personal choice that should be worked out with in ones finances, if someone can not get a loan than I think this could be an option or like you said, if one is not planning to stay long. but if you are older and are settled you should tried to buy, you can always sell later if it is not your dream home.

I wouldn't feel like I was quite settled if I rented. One thing that stinks is moving itself so the sooner you are settled in your home of choice the better.

True, renting is like throwing money away, I am glad that paying monthly means it is mine in another 10 years.

Very true. I think alot of people view renting as not having to pay propery taxes, doing repairs, or mowing. Really your paying others to do this anyway so why not just pay yourself.

fireyone, there are a lot of people out there who either choose or are not able to do all the things involving home ownership. I mean haven't there been days where a water pipe has broken or a commode has backed up passed the point of a plunger, that you have to say you wish you could call a landlord, LOL. Right. I will take all the headaches of home ownership, even those rotten taxes. We all make a personal choice for our own reasons.
