Penalties for foreclosure

Posted on: 12th Jun, 2009 03:33 pm
I'm about $155K under water in my home. My boyfriend just purchased a home and I'm deciding what to do (short sale, rent or foreclose) with my home. My mortgage payment is too high and a renter won't pay the entire amount and with the new mortgage on my boyfriend's house and the difference between renter and mortgage, we can not afford to rent the home. I can't afford to pay both mortgages, so a short-sale may not work. If I choose foreclosure, what are the penalties. Can the lender come after me for the $155K?

Welcoem to the forum

If the house gets forclosed you will have a huge impact on your credit score and depending on the lender they will probbaly send you 1099C form which will be considered as income for you.

Due to the current law you will not be liable for any taxes on it.

Good luck and feel free to ask

Hi matt,

As you're facing hardship in paying your mortgage dues due to your unemployment, you should contact your lender and inform him about the same. You should apply for a loan modification with your lender which will help you in getting affordable rates and terms in order to pay off the loan.

Take care.
