collecting methods on deficiencies?

Posted on: 04th Aug, 2009 12:49 pm
I have a rental that has a 1st and 2nd mortgage. The renter has moved and I cannot make these payments. I am so under water on both of these loans, that the only thing I can do is walk away. I will be listing it on the market, hoping it sells before it goes into foreclosure. I have been told that Ohio is a deficiency judgement state and that both lenders can sue for whatever balance is left after auction ( if foreclosure). It is does sell, the 2nd will need to take a short sale. I know if varies from lender to lender, but generally speaking, what is the process that the lenders will use to collect the deficiency? I have been told that they can garnish wages, attach bank accounts, etc. Then I have heard that a payment plan is the usual course they take. Please advise...I am losing sleep over this.
Thanks
hi donnawitt!

welcome to forums!

you will have to pay off the second mortgage debts to the second lender once your property is sold off. if you are unable to pay the second mortgage dues, you will have to speak to your lender and negotiate for a payment plan. if a payment plan is not sorted out between your lender and you, then the lender would garnish wages or go after your bank account.

feel free to ask if you've further queries.
