Contact the loss mitigation department with your lender and discuss the situation. Dont hesitate to tell them what you are considering if they cant make it work.

Good Luck
Brian

Welcome oscar.

Brain is very right. You should contact with the mortgage company ASAP and tell them your situation. You can ask them for the loan modification for lower monthly payments. You should write a hardship letter to them stating your problems.

Know how to construct a letter of hardship at http://www.mortgagefit.com/know-how/about7067.html#hardshipletter

Let me know if you have any more queries.
