Welcome Rociel.

Whether the lender will accept the deed in lieu or not that totally depends upon the lender. But first try to contact with the lender ASAP and you should try to go for short sale. Short sale will have less negative affect on your credit report than deed in lieu or foreclosure.

Let me know if you have any further queries.

Post     Post subject: RE: deed in lieu after bankruptcy is dismissed?

Hi Rociel,

So, you filed chapter 13 and now you think the payments are huge. Did you talk to your trustee about it? usually the trustee prepares a payment plan keeping in mind the debtor's affordability. But it's not so perhaps in your case.

A deed in lieu is possible if the bankruptcy is dismissed but what I'd like to know is, did the lender ever declare a foreclosure? In case the lender has done so, the bankruptcy has put an automatic stay on the foreclosure. Hence, after the chapter 13 dismissal, the lender will hopefully release the stay and resume foreclosure proceedings again.

Take Care

Post     Post subject: deeding back to lender

I have ten vacant properties which I cannot make the payments on but am current on payments. If I do a BPO and agree to pay the difference if there is one can I just quit claim or grant deed these non owner occupied properties back? What if I just deed back without approval what can happen?

Welcome chuck.

You cannot deed the property back without the approval. As the property is mortgaged you cannot also use a grant deed. By the way, if you cannot make payments then talk to the mortgage company and find out if there are any options available for you to avoid foreclosure.

Well, a loan modification is offered by lenders as a part of foreclosure prevention program. It involves changing the terms and conditions of the loan so that the borrower can afford to pay it off.

However, at times in case of loan modification, the mortgage payment may be increased instead of reducing it as because any payment which is due may be added to the loan balance. Know more on loan modification from an article on this topic.

Good luck

Hi ar white!

Have you applied for a deed in lieu with your lender? You will have to first apply for it. If they reject you then you can go in for negotiations and consult the lawyers.

Thanks.

Hi fusterated!

Welcome to forums!

As you have already defaulted on your payments for 3 months, there are chances that the lender will foreclose the property. You should immediately speak to the lender and check out the options of loan modification, short sale or a deed in lieu foreclosure. To know more about ways to avoid foreclosure, check out the following link:

If you owe him the money, then the lawyer has all the rights to ask you to pay. However, if you are not in a position to pay the money, you can negotiate with him. You should tell him about your hardship and I'm sure he'll understand it.

Post     Post subject: Reinstate my loan while in Foreclosure?

I live in Michigan and my house went into Foreclosure November 12, 2008. It will not be sold until November 12, 2009 since we have over 3 acres. I was told by the mortgage company that we could reinstate the loan by paying all past due amounts and foreclosure fees. I called to get the actual amount to pay and was told by the Law firm that we had to pay the full balance of the loan unless the mortgage company contacted them instructing to give us the all past due amounts. I then called the mortgage company and they said there was no way to reinstate the mortgage, we would have to pay the entire loan off. Is there anything we can do or someone that can help us get this resolved? Is it absolutely out of the question to reinstate the loan?

Welcome ckmjlee,

Did the mortgage company give you any reason as why you will not be able to reinstate the loan? If the lender is not ready to reinstate the loan, then you will have to pay off the entire amount to save the property.
