Husband lost job, we have a severance package so mortgage is current. Found a job out of State. We owe at least 180k more than the house would bring on the market if it would even sell. We have always had excellent credit and are horrified at our position after years of hard work. It is what it is but we want to make the best "financial" choice for US, not the bank or nation (sorry so selfish!)
Suggestions welcome....DIL, voluntary forclosure, shortsale?
We have 5 months to move....any help out there?

Hi krae,

There are many people who are stuck in your situation. But if you need to relocate for the purpose of employment, you will have to either leave the house or continue making payments. If you have decided to leave the house, you can go for a short sale. List the property on the market and see if it sells. In case it does not sell, you can request your lender to accept deed in lieu of foreclosure. In a DIL, you can even negotiate with the lender and have any deficiency cancelled. A short sale will be less damaging on your credit, but there is a chance that the lender will come after you for the deficiency once the property is sold.
