We are current on our rental mortgage, but right now we can't find a renter unless we lower our rental price. We will have to make up the difference of about $500 to $600 a month, which we have done for about a year but we are throwing our money away as we will never see it back, we are upside down by probably $100k. The bank may not see us as financially stressed, but we need out of this home, at this rate it could take us 10 yrs or longer to break even, we are not willing to continue shelling out $500 to $600 a month or more , we would rather put that money into a retirement account. Is there any way we can get rid of this property? Thanks

Hi northnev,

You can contact the lender and apply for a short sale. This will help you in selling off the property. However, you would be liable to pay off the deficient amount resulting from the sale of the property. This will lower your credit score by 75-100 points. To know more about how a short sale affects your credit score, check out the following page:

Take care.
