Hi lpag!

Welcome to forums!

Once you receive a discharge from your bankruptcy filing, you should immediately surrender the property to your lender and ask him to sell off the property asap. The lender will take steps to sell off the property. Once the property is sold off at the foreclosure auction, you'll be able to get rid of it.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Sussane, would it help me if, while I am waiting, put the house us for sale, and try to get the bank to take it with a deed in lieu?

Hi LPag,

It will be better if you could take the permission of the lender in order to list the property in the market.

Thanks

Thank you, but do you mean ask them if I can list it while waiting for bk and foreclosure? I did, and they told me that I could try to sell it. I want this property out of my name as soon as and any way possible!!

Welcome LPag,

If the lender and the trustee has allowed you, then you can list the property in the market and try to sell it off.
