my husband and i are filing chapter 13 bankruptcy. we own our own business and have had a 50% reduction in income. we originally filed to save our house. we now realize we just cannot make the payments of $3k a month plus living expenses, etc. what is the best way to turn over the house, it is now worth $302k and we owe $360k?
hi sjh,
you can contact your lender and apply for a deed in lieu of foreclosure. if the lender accepts your request, it will help you in getting rid of the property and you won't be liable for paying the balance amount resulting from the sale of the property. however, your score would get reduced by 250 points.
thanks
