"Be strong in nature;  Gentle in deed."

Hi Carolyn.  Well, a short sale has a less negative impact on your credit rating than a deed-in-leiu of foreclosure.  In some instances, Chapter 13 bankruptcy will allow you to stay in your home...but then there is the issue of:  will you be able to afford the monthly payments set by the bankruptcy court?  Ultimately, at this point, whichever move you make, you need to decide what is in your best interest and if you have already decided that you will most likely be selling your home or losing it, you should start looking now as rentals are becoming very high in demand due to the foreclosure crisis.  If you really don't have the funds to keep paying, you should take what money you do have and can save in the near future and put it all towards finding someplace else to live.  Some of these mortgage companies are ruthless and their corporate greed is really taking it's toll on this country.

Best of luck to you dear.

Mayhaven is right Carolyn even Obama announced that owners should do short sale to avoid the foreclosure auction and with the HR 3648 you will not need to worry about the tax from the 1099 if this was your personal residence and you did not refi and take cash out to vacation etc, home improvement is ok but you need to have all bills showing what the money was spent on. Some people knew they were in trouble and refinanced and took cash out and spent it. They will not be helped by HR 3648.

I know a lot of people in the business.
