Welcome Krystal,
The lender cannot foreclose the home which was sold off years ago. Your lender can rather charge off the account and sell it off to a collection agency. You should negotiate with your lender so that you can get an affordable payment plan to pay off the dues.

Post subject: Mortgage greater than FMV |
|
|
The FMV of my home is less than the combined mortgage/home equity loan balance. I do want to sell the home as I cannot afford the monthly mortgage payments as I am 66 years old and on social security.
What realistic options do I have? thanks, |

Hi Laurence,
You can contact your first lender and apply for a deed in lieu of foreclosure. This will help you in selling off the property and you won't be liable for paying any deficient amount to the first lender. However, you'll be liable for paying off the second mortgage dues to the second lender.
Thanks |

Hi Guest,
Unless the lender agrees to your home loan modification, you won't be able to save the property. You should contact your lender and negotiate once again for a loan modification and convince him to accept your request.
Thanks |

Post subject: two mortgages, under water on condo |
|
|
| I have two mortgages on a condo which is presently worth 210K. The first mortgage is an interest only 5yr ARM for 203K which is presently floating on the 6 month Libor (so far so good as rates have dropped from 6.75 to 2.75). The second mortgage is 30yr fixed at 7.5 for 32K. I want to sell but I'm under 10-20K. Any advice? Is a short sale advisable or just walk away? |

Welcome rwolff,
If you walk away from the property, it will have a severe negative affect on your credit score. Your property will be foreclosed and your credit score will get lowered by 250 points. It will be a better option if you could short sale the property. This will help you in selling off the property and your scores will lower by only 80-100 points.

Post subject: avoiding foreclosure |
|
|
| I am current in my mortgage. But, I want to turn it over to the bank. I owe 252,000 and it's valued at 125,000. A short sale really can't happen because of the gap, and I propably would qualify for hardship due to income (69,000 per year). I want to be out by august 2012. Do i continue to pay my mortgage, or do i try to turn it over to the bank at the end of july as a "deed in leiu foreclosure" scenario. |

Welcome djc,
You can contact your lender and apply for a deed in lieu of foreclosure in order to get rid of the property. If the lender accepts your request, then you can get rid of the house and you won't be liable for paying off the deficient balance resulting from the sale of the property.
