How many years have to pass so I can apply to buy another house?
Is it true that I have to pay propety taxes even after I lose my house?

Hi karla,

If you let the property go, the lender will foreclose on the property and sell it to satisfy the due loan amount. If the house is worth less than what is owed, the lender may come after you for the deficiency amount. You will have to wait for at least 2 years after a foreclosure before you can qualify for an FHA loan. For other types of loan it could well be 3-4 years. You might get a loan even before that but you will have to pay very high rate of interest. As far as the property taxes are concerned, once the house is sold off at an auction and the ownership is changed, you need not pay the property taxes.

Hello Karla,

Do you know how much you owe as opposed to how much your home is worth?

Most people don't realize what jenkin explained above and with most banks hurting it is becoming much more common for the banks to come after you for the remaining balance left over after the sale of the house. It's just like a car repo.

Just keep this in mind when you are considering letting your house go. Have you exhausted every option as far as looking for assistance to possibly modify your mortgage or refinance it?

Hi

There are various negative consequences of a foreclosure, as has been explained by Jenkin. Scott is right in saying you ought to look for other options like a modification. Have you tried a modification or a refinance to avoid the foreclosure?
