Is a Short-Sale a viable option for someone not behind in payments?

Posted on: 22nd Feb, 2011 08:03 am
I live in Eastpointe, MI and have owned my home for 10 years and have never missed a payment. My overall credit score is excellent. My fiancé has owned his home for 20 years. Our intention is to move into his home. I owe $102,000 on my home and the appraisal is $49,000. We cannot afford to pay for both homes, nor can we afford to sell at $53,000 loss. Neither of us have assets to cover the difference. We’d like to know what our options are.

Since I am not in financial trouble, it doesn’t sound like either bankruptcy or a deed-in-lieu is possible. We are not interested in renting the house out. I sincerely do not want to stop paying my mortgage, and I don’t think my credit union will consider a short-sale (also, we don’t want to be liable for a deficiency judgment in MI).

Thank you,
Teresa
hi mfhtmw!

welcome to forums!

the option of bankruptcy might be possible for you but you won't be able to qualify for a deed in lieu of foreclosure if you don't have any financial hardship.you can apply for a short sale but it will be the discretion of the lender whether or not he will consider your request.

feel free to ask if you've further queries.
