Hi cathy,

You can write a hardship letter to your lender and request for a deed in lieu or a short sale. If the lender is convinced, then the lender will tell you what next steps you will have to take.

Thanks

Yes, I think deed in lieu foreclosure will be the best option here. No doubt it will hurt you credit but right now you don't have any other suitable option. Your home value is too low to help you recover the mortgage balance from the sale.

Thanks

If you current on your payments, then there are chances that the lender would not accept your deed in lieu foreclosure request. Moreover, accepting a deed in lieu or not will depend upon the discretion of the lender.

We bought a house on 9/16/2008 for $280,000, values in the area are now between $200000.00 & $225000.00. We are not behind in payments but we just want to move back where we have established doctors & friends. We are 81 & 68. We want to preserve our good credit score. We have savings, which I understand prevents us from getting a short sale is a forclosure our only way out of here.

Hi Traber!

Welcome to forums!

You can try to list the property in the market and check if you can get a buyer for the property. You can contact a real estate broker and he will help you in listing the property. However, you should note that as soon as you sell off the property, your mortgage will become due. So you'll have to pay off the mortgage in full immediately.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

In case of a deed in lieu, the lender will forgive your deficient amount. You'll not be liable to pay the deficient amount to your lender.

I moved from my home in Michigan to Missouri in April 2006. Since then it has been on the market, rented for a year, and now back on the market for $30,000 less than the purchase price, with NO interest.

We are thinking DIF because the home simply isn't moving. Should we get a mortgage in Missouri, buy a home here and then let the home in Michigan go?

Hi JD!

Welcome to forums!

You can apply for a mortgage in Missouri to buy a home. Then you can apply for a deed in lieu foreclosure for the property located in Michigan. If you go for a deed in lieu, it will lower your credit score and you won't be able to get a mortgage for buying property in Michigan.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

I have a second home that was under construction. The home has lost about 60% of its value and the lender is going to send the home into default do to the fact there has been no work complete on the home, but all payments are current. Will they take the keys back on a home that is 90% complete?

Guest

if your home is going to foreclose and your attempts to deed in lieu of foreclosure are unsuccessful is it smart to foreclose and then file bankrupcy? help....

Hi!

Welcome to forums!

To Confused,

The lender can foreclose the property and take back the keys if you've defaulted the loan. If you're current on your payments, the lender will not be able to foreclose the property.

To Alice,

If your lender has not accepted your request for a deed in lieu, then you may directly file a bankruptcy. You do not need to let the lender foreclose the property first. However, I would suggest you to apply for a short sale first and check if the lender agrees to it. In this process, you can sell off the property at a lower price but you would responsible for the deficient amount resulting from the sale of the property.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
