Hai all,

I bought a house in 2007 for 25k. and we were making payments till now.
we never refinanced, we tried for home modification, they made 2100 per month, not able to pay that also.
From last year my husband lost job and now a stage has come we cannot make payments. 2200 per month. we have two small children. we cannot afford to make payments, in serious trouble. we plan to walk away and take an apartment to keep our children.
What are the good options to us, any special rules in virginia.

please advice, how to go away, things to be done

. thanks in advance

Welcometo the forum

Sorry about your situation

If you stop making paymnets the lender will probably forclose on your house

This will affect your credit score and report

Good luck and feel free to ask

Hi bblessed!

Welcome to forums!

Your lender had modified your payments and given you a lower amount which you are unable to pay. You can apply for a forbearance and check if the lender can suspend your payments for few months. Once your financial situation improves, you can then start paying off the dues.

However, if the lender is not ready to offer the forbearance plan, then you will have to sell off the property through a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Once the process starts and you sign all the necessary documnets lender will give you notice of evacuation. Normally it will be 30 days from that notice

Good luck and feel free to ask

Hi bblessed,

After a deed in lieu of foreclosure, you will be able to rent an apartment. You can then try to improve your credit score. After 3-4 years you would be able to get a mortgage to buy a property.

Hi Guest,

If the lender agrees for a deed in lieu of foreclosure, he won't come after you for the deficient amount. You can walk away from the property, though you accept a loan modification. However, if you walk away from the property, then the lender will have the right to foreclose it and sue you for the deficient amount. If you're unable to pay off the deficient amount, he may charge off the account to a collection agency.
