The bank will probably forclose on the house. Your credit score will go down by 250 points.
Forclosure will show up on your report for 7 years. You need need to work on building your credit and it needs some discipline and patience.

Hi brandie,
If you walkaway from the property, your property will be foreclosed upon by the lender. This will lower your credit score by 250 points. Moreover, you will also be liable for the deficient amount. In my opinion it will be better if you could speak to your lender and apply for a short sale or a deed in lieu.
Thanks
