foreclosure only option?

Guest 0.10 Dollars($)

We are refinanced, upside down now, home appraised for $330,000, refinanced $305,000....now home appraises for $260,000. We cannot make payments now, I lost my job, husband is on strike....but even with him back at work, he doesn't earn enough to pay mortgage without me working. So far, I have not found employment. We have talked to several lenders., can't help us since we are upside down. Seems only option is foreclosure....we think we should go ahead and move out, rent a cheap place before our credit report is affected, and then unable to rent? We are in AZ, so understand there is anti-deficiency law here....but we do have a second mortgage? Any ideas?

You are really in very difficult situation.

Foreclosure prevention counseling program would be suitable in the situation you are in. The counseling agency will try to negotiate a loss mitigation plan with the lender and avoid the house from going into foreclosure.

Hi Azbill,

I think you should take credit counseling advice from a reputed agency. May be the counselor can help you to organize your finances so that you can pay off your debts and avoid foreclosure.

You may talk to your lender and request him for an alternative payment plan. With good credit counseling help, you may be able to repay your debts by following the alternative plan.

You may also seek other options that can help you avoid foreclosure. Just refer to our section on How to avoid foreclosure with Loss Mitigation options.

Thanks,

Sara

There is one foreclosure avoidance program from ACORN called Foreclosure Assistance Program (FAP). In this program your interest rate could get reduced so that you can afford the payments. I think you should contact them to see if you can get some help save your home from foreclosure, the details of the program - http://acornhousing.org/TEXT/fap.php

All are very good ideas mentioned above. I would also call your mortgage company and explain your situation. Let them know you NEED to help otherwise you will go into foreclosure.

Lenders do not want foreclosure either. In many cases lenders are willing to help you so they do not have to take the property back. Start there and if they cannot help, I'd do what was sugguested above this post.

Best of luck.
