ailport,
welcome to forum.
when you do quit claim deed, you are transferign the owner ship of the property to soem one else. but you will be still responsible for the loan.
so it is better to do deed in lieu if you do not want to worry abotu the loan later.
good luck and feel free to ask.

Hi railport
I agree with Realgeni that if you sign a quitclaim deed, you would only be transferring the property. You would still be liable for the mortgage. Deed in lieu is a good option but again it would lower your credit score by 250 points.
You can try for a short sale which will lower your credit score by 75-100 points but you would be liable for the deficient amount resulting from the sale of the property.
Thanks.

One thigns. Youc an probably neogotiate upfront the deficient amount with yoru lenders. one of the reasons for short sale if to make the lender forgive the deficient amount and probably they will send you a 1099C.
Which is really not taxable with the current law.
Good luck
