my home is in forclosure. i have 2 months left in the redemption period. what is the time frame for deed in lieu of foreclosure. do all mortgage companies do that? i am going throught a divorce, my x stopped making payments. my name is the only name on the mortgage, both on the deed. is only my name effected with the bad credit?
O great another jerk husband pulling a dirty move. Basically he made sure you where responsible for the mortgage (i.e. on the hook for the debt) while he got share in ownership of the property. Yes it will only affect your credit.
You need to contact your lender and let them know that you would like to do a short sale or deed-in-lieu (DIL). Unless you want to keep the property then you would need to utilize other options such as loan modification or forebearance plan etc.
What is the name of your lender? This will help me better understand what options are available to you. Don't worry we are all here to support and help you. :D

My mortgage company is Aurora. My home is in MN
I do not want to keep the property! What is the difference between deed in lieu of forclosure or short sale?
Here is a brief explanation. So I'm assuming your lender has already sold your home at the sherriffs auciton???
Short Sale: A “short sale†is a sale of the property for less than the total amount owed on the mortgage. An investor (we can arrange you with an ethical investor) may be able to convince the mortgage company to accept a short sale. Most lenders would rather have the majority of their money back than the hassle of a foreclosure, legal fees, renovation, and marketing costs associated with the reselling of the property.
Deed-in-Lieu: A Deed in Lieu of foreclosure (DIL) is a disposition option in which a mortgagor (home owner) voluntarily deeds the property in exchange for a release from all obligations under the mortgage. A DIL of foreclosure may not be accepted from home owners who can financially make their mortgage payments.
Also, don't worry you can rebuild your credit even after foreclosure. We will help you get through this and get back on your feet. :D

What do I do if I do not have a offer b/f it goes?
You would loose the home. However, I just want to make sure did the lender already have your property auctioned at the sheriff's auction?
Hi Sandra,
I couldn't help noticing that you are in a comprimising situation. in the short sale, save your credit from the foreclosure, let you stay in the home for up to 4 months longer, and put some money back in your pocket.

hi sharmarshall,
welcome to forums.
i can understand what you're going through. the pick-a-payment option or the option arm isn't a very good choice especially for first time buyers if they don't have enough savings and cash reserves just to make up for any missed payment.
it's good that the mortgage company has decided to send you a loss mitigation package. but have they expressed any willingness that they may accept a deed in lieu?
in case you'd like to take a look at some of the loss mitigation options lenders usually provide, refer to the page on loss mitigation .
thanks

James ask a good question. What has the mortgage company said about a deed in lieu? Also, why have you chosen a deed in lieu over a short sale?
My house has only been on the market for 1 month listed Aug 23 and I only paid half of Aug and nothing yet for Sept. Already got a letter of intent to forclose from Countrywide my lender. I live in NJ. I thought this was a bit premature...but maybe I'm wrong.
I plan to move in October even though there have been no offers so far. I think buyers are very savvy now a days and they are waiting for the listing to go out as a short sale. I have shown the house to 5 couples with no bids yet.
I think I should wait at least another month or so to see if I get any real bids before cutting it off with a DIL. Is that your opinion too?
How long does foreclosure take once you get your first letter of intent?
Any advise would be helpful

Hi thefoxes43!
Foreclosure is a long process and will also damage your credit score. I think you should try for a DIL right now as it will be less damaging on your credit score. You can consult an attorney who deals with this kind of issues and he will be able to guide you with the legal proceedings.
