How foreclosure affects your credit score

Post     Post subject: Quit Claim

Have a friend who is in trouble with their Mortgage and needs to sell fast, but cant. They asked me if I could take over the payments and do a quit claim. If I do this, the property is not really mine, is it? Will I receive credit with credit reporting agencies for the payments I make? Would I make the payments directly to the Mortgage Company, or to my friend? If so, what if he lets it go into foreclosure?

Hi Roni,

You cannot simply take over the mortgage payments. Your friend will have to quitclaim the property to you and then you will have to refinance. Once you refinance, you can directly make the payments to the lender.

If the property goes into foreclosure, then his property will be sold off by the lender and any deficient amount resulting from the sale of the property should be paid by him to the lender. Moreover, a foreclosure will also lower your friend's credit score by 250 points.

Hi Casei,

I don't think the lender will allow him to be a co-signer for the loan that you take. In that case, your boyfriend will not be able to help you in getting a loan. You will have to contact a person who has a good income and ask him/her to be the co-signer for your loan.

Thanks

This is great I was thinking about letting my property go into foreclsoure so that I could move. I have not been able to sell it, and I am getting tired of paying for a property which I am barely able to afford and on top of that I am not even there 3 times out of the week, most months.

Hi Twin,

Letting the property go into foreclosure is not a good option in my opinion. There are various options which you can go for in order to avoid foreclosure. You can check out those options and try to negotiate with the lender.

As you do not mind losing the property, you can either apply for a short sale or a deed in lieu. However, you should note that in both the cases, you will have to delinquent on the payments. If you are not past due on your payments, the lender will not accept your request for a short sale or a deed in lieu.

In both short sale and deed in lieu, the lender will sell off your property in order to recover the debts. The deficient amount resulting from the property is forgiven in case of deed in lieu whereas in case of a short sale you will have to pay that amount to the lender.

Thanks

Post     Post subject: TRUST VS LIFE ESTATE

ONE LAWYER SAYS I SHOULD HAVE A TRUST SET UP TO CONVEY MY CONDO TO MY PARTNER, AND MINE TO HER (ADD OUR NAMES TO EACH OTHERS DEED.) THE CONCOS WERE BOTH PURCHASED AT THE SAME TIME, FOR THE SAME AMOUNT. WE SHOULD HAVE HAD NAMES ON, WHEN WE GOT FINANCED, BUT DIDN'T. OTHER LAWYER SAYS A LIFE ESTATE WILL DO. WE HAVE ONLY OWNED THE PROPERTIES FOR 2 YRS. BOTH ARE IN FLOIDA. WHICH WOULD BE BEST?

Hi,

To sam!

If the mortgage is still in your name, then your credit will be badly affected if the property is foreclosed upon. You have signed the quitclaim deed which had removed your name from the property but not from the mortgage. You will have to contact the lender and check out if you can go for a short sale or a deed in lieu.

To JJ!

In my opinion, signing a quitclaim deed with life estate clause will help you in this situation.

Hi cbmyster,

The lender cannot place liens on your personal property or take away your personal property due to a foreclosure.

Thanks

Hi anonymous,

I would suggest you to go for a short sale rather than a foreclosure. You can contact the lender and apply for a short sale. In a short sale, you will have to pay the deficient amount resulting from the sale of the property to the lender. However, a short sale will reduce your credit score by 75-100 points. After a short sale, you can wait for 2 years before applying for a loan. Once you apply for a loan, you'll receive normal rates.

Thanks

Can a mortgage company take the money I do have in savings if I go into foreclosure?

Hi mbw,

Yes, the lender can garnish your savings account if you are unable to pay the deficient amount resulting from the foreclosure of the property.
