Short sale vs foreclosure or bankruptcy

Posted on: 22nd Jul, 2008 05:57 pm
we live in florida,

we have primary residence with 2 loans. (80/20)
house values have decreased by 40% and we can not make payments anymore after my arm adjusts.
both my credit score and wife's is above 800. have never missed a payment.
would do foreclosure, but afraid of deficiency judgement.
what would be better bankruptcy, deed in lieu of foreclosure or short sale.
also paying on 2 cars and want to keep them, and have $ 7,000 in credit card debt.

help.

If I work two jobs on full time do i have to report both jobs to the bank when doing a modification?

Welcome priss,

You will have to report about both the jobs to the bank while you apply for a modification. The lender will send you a financial worksheet which you need to fill out properly in order to get the loan modified.

The 1st choice would be Deed in lieu of Foreclose(DIL)above the others. However a DIL and a short sale has to be granted by your lender. Now if you are denied for the DIL and you can't sell the property in a short sale I would say bankruptcy would be the absolute last choice if you are determined to keep your property. However, I would not make this a 1st choice due to the credit implications, which is long lasting. :)
