foreclosure

3 years ago, I gave my ex son-in-law money for the down payment on a home. My daughter passed away and my ex-son-in-law had custody of my grandchildren. I have a severally disabled 8 year old grandson who requires 24 hour nursing. My son-in-law was working but didn't have the money for a down payment. When we got to the closing, the mortgage banker said that although they thought that he qualified for the loan, he didn't and I had to sign for the loan. My son-in-law subsequently moved out of state with the children and is now in prison. I have been making payments on the house since then. I listed the house 2 years ago and finally sold it on contract. They made two payments and moved out. I have not been able to rent the house and the house is worth about 30% of what is owed on it. (It is in Cape Coral Florida). I have some savings but am living on a pension and social security. I can't afford to pay off the mortgage and am rapidly depleting my savings. I have decided to let the house go into foreclosure. I have excellent credit, but I guess that I will lose that. What else will happen to me financially? I am also a Florida resident, but have a property in another state that is paid for that I have been trying to sell to help me pay my bills but no luck there either. (My husband died two years ago, and my finances have changed since then.)
Gramma,

At this age, I would say let the house go.

Good luck and feel free to ask
