No longer can afford home in AZ. If I "walk away" what happens???
Hi joanlargey,
If you walkaway from the property, the lender would foreclose the property and get it sold to recover his dues. In my opinion, you should apply for a short sale with your lender and check out if he accepts it. A short sale sale is one of the options to avoid foreclosure. However, you should note that you would be liable to pay the deficient amount resulting from the sale of the property. It will lower your score by 75-100 points.
