Hi waynesmithphotography,

As you are facing hardship in paying off the mortgage, applying for deed in lieu would be a good option for you. However, it would be your lender's discretion whether or not he would accept your request. You should also note that a deed in lieu of foreclosure would reduce your credit score by 250 points. Also, it would remain as a negative item on your credit report for next 7 years.

Thanks

I always think you should attempt a short sale first. I am in florida as well and there are plenty of investors in this state that are looking to buy short sales I work with a lot of them my self. A short sale can be an extremly cheap process and if you get the right people working on it for you there won't be any work for you to do. Also you can avoid having a foreclosure on your credit.
