I used to have back-up income to cover the mortage between tenants and now my husband is un-employed and we cannot pay the mortgage. My tenants are moving in less than 2 weeks and I can't find anyone to replace them. I am looking at possible Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure but I need some more information. What are the tax implications? Affect on credit? I owe around $148,000 and I'm not sure of fair market value, but foreclosures in the neighborhood are selling from 100-120K. Thanks.

However, you should note that the lender accepts a deed in lieu of foreclosure only when you've defaulted on your mortgage payments. The deficient amount resulting from the sale of the property will be forgiven by the lender. Though you will be liable for the taxes on the forgiven amount, you will not have to pay it depending upon the Mortgage Debt Relief Act. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success
