can we foreclose

You credit score will be negatively affected because of the foreclosure, instead of allowing foreclosure to happen I would say you look for other options.

thanks for the reply!! other than finding new people, i do not have a clue as to what that might be

"we can not make the payments ourselves and we want to just foreclose on the poperty.."
Hi Bob,

Welcome to Mortgagefit discussion board.

There are other options that you need to discuss first with your lender like a deed in lieu of foreclosure and a short sale before letting the house be foreclosed.

Foreclosure will affect your chances of getting credit in future so it is better to avoid it if possible.

Thanks

If there are no defaults as yet then chances are that lender would consider the situation you are in and develop a new payment plan which you can continue until you find a new buyer.

"we sold a house on contract to someone else so we could buy a house elswhere..they can not make the payments anymore..we can not make the payments ourselves and we want to just foreclose on the poperty..can we and what would be the fallout of that??"
I would also say that buy some more time from your lender by making out a plan by which you can continue some kind of reduced payments until you find someone else who is willing to buy the house. And how is the property market in your region? You expecting to get a buyer soon?
