I owe much more than my home is now worth. I am in an option arm and I can barely afford to make my payments. I am now behind by 2 months. I am considering filing for chptr 7. should I let my house go into foreclosure eventually and what do I tell the bank as they keep calling me. they have declined a loan modification due to my lack of income vs expenses.

Hi lis

You can check out the options of short sale and deed in lieu foreclosure with the lender as well. These are also two options to avoid foreclosure. You will have to write a hardship letter to the lender in order to apply for a short sale or a deed in lieu foreclosure.

Thanks.

Hi T,

As far as purchasing a REO or short sale property is concerned, you can definitely purchase it. But I did not understand what you wanted to say by

Hi,

To confused,

If there are two mortgages and if the first lender does a deed in lieu, he will forgive the deficient amount of his loan resulting from the sale of the property. But you will still be liable to pay off the second lender. if you do not, then the second lender will charge off the mortgage to a collection agency.

To desperate,

Chapter 7 helps in wiping off all your debts depending upon your situation. As far as I know, if you file Chapter 7, then mortgage on the property will also be included in it. The property will be liquidated and your creditors will be paid off. To know more about chapter 7, check out the following link:

I owe $63,000 on my home and has been on the market 2 years. I want to sell it for $58,000 and have the bank loan me the $5000 to pay off so my credit isn't damaged. Ever heard of such a thing?

Hi,

To preacher:

Are you having problems making monthly payments? if that's the reason why you need bi-weekly payments, then please have a talk with your bankruptcy trustee who approved your payment plan. Perhaps he can help negotiate with your lender in this regard.

To Molly:

Frankly speaking, I haven't heard o such a thing. Do you want the $5000 loan from the same bank who has offered you the mortgage? Such a thing isn't possible. Also, banks and lenders usually don't lend for an amount like $5000 except if it's a personal loan. You need to check the criteria for such loans.

Thanks

I have a mortgage loan with Wachovia Bank. I am three months behind on my payment. I called the bank trying to see if they will put the arrears in the back of the loan and let me continue making my current payment. They refused to agree to this and said that the only option that I had was to make full payment of all the arrears or sell the house. I will like to know if there are any other option available to me.

Hi Erasmo,

If you do not want to sell the property, then you should look for a loan modification. But remember in a loan modification there are chances that your payments towards the mortgage will increase.

Hi babu,

A short sale can drop your credit score down by almost 75-100 points, whereas a deed in lieu of foreclosure will hurt your credit by as much as 250 points. Thus, from credit point of view a short sale looks like a good option. However, you may be required to pay the deficiency amount of the loan and if you cannot, the lender may get a deficiency judgment against you to recover the deficient amount. In a deed in lieu this deficiency amount is forgiven in most cases, though you may have to pay taxes on the amount forgiven.

Thanks,

Jerry
