hi,
i was just denied a hamp mod. from wachovia. i applied in oct 09 and it's taken this long to deny me. i have not made a pymt. in 11 months.
my choices are ::
1. short sale=long process
2. gov. short sale=lots of docs. and guidelines.
3. deed in lieu of foreclosure=pay liens off over $1,200 and other consequences.
4. foreclosure.=no hassle, just get out. but financial consequences?????
i have two liens from hoa dues not being paid. i would have to pay those off first before a dilo. they are about $1,200 or more.
i owe $119,000 on my home that's worth about $125-130,000, maybe.
i don't think there will be much of a balance for them to make me pay after a foreclosure or dilo.
my credit went from 780 to 560 or so. from deliquent pymts.

my thought is to just let them foreclose, without paying the liens.
what could they make me pay if i do a foreclosure in colorado?
my home is not trashed and in real good condition. i think they could actually make a little money on it. how long would it take til i'm forced out?? any experiences on this???
what should i do??? i just want to run!!!
thanks!! lilygal
Hi LStillman,

If you let the lender foreclose the property, then you would be liable for the deficient balance that results from the sale of the property. Also, you score would go down by 250 points. In my opinion, it would be better to go for a deed in lieu of foreclosure. You won't be liable for the deficient balance resulting from the property sale. The HOA liens will be satisfied first and then the mortgage dues will be satisfied.

Thanks

Thanks, James. I just read today about the 250 points. It's approx. the same for DILOF. I need to look more into this whole deal. I learn more & more each day. I never thought I'd be in this situation, but neither did lots of people, huh? I know it's better to go with the DILOF, but I don't think I have the energy for any more. I'm not real worried about my score, it's screwed already. I don't have anything for them to go after, except my car [paid for 2002] Can they go after my S.S.Disability payments??

Hi Lilygal!

Welcome to forums!

Your creditors won't be able to garnish your social security check or your retirement income in order to recover the balance dues resulting from the short sale. However, they can garnish your checking account or your savings account to recover their dues.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
