How do I get out of this home before I lose it and buy cheaper one?
I just did a so called mortgage modification and payment went up from $2400 to $3100. We were already having trouble, how can we pay more. Can we get out before foreclosure and find someting else? What options are availalble. There are many homes in our neighborhood for sale . Don't think we can sell in time, and my FICO score keeps taking a hit .We live in Tennessee. house worth $290,000, some homes around us priced less. My income higher than spouse. Spouse filed chapter 7 in June. Spouse not on this mortgage was in chapter 13 when home purchased one year ago.

You should have read your paperwork when you purchased. Thats why 30 yr fixed is the way to go. Good luck; I doubt that there is much you can do with the market as bad as it is now and only getting worse as more people in your situation are hitting their new payments. You may find a bank to help, but be careful, as with your previous experience it should show you that banks/ brokers in this country are pretty much out to screw people in the same manner as used car salesmen these days. I would stay away from any business on the internet especially.

You basically have two options. Not to sound harsh, but sell it and get out with as little damage as possible, or try to work out a situation with the lender. More bad news is that there are many houses around you worth less, your house may not be worth $290.000 depending on sq ftg and age and if they are within less than a mile from your house.
Call a mtg pro in your area quick for options... alot of times they have investors etc... and can help.


Investor Specialist
You might contact a real estate investor with experience negotiating "short sales". That would allow the real estate investor to purchase the house for less than what is owed and save you from a foreclosure.

How are you going to be able to buy another house with a recent bankruptcy on your record?? - If you don't include spouses credit record you can't include their income to qualify - sounds like you are one of the subprime people

how much do you need to sell it to be debt free and even?
200K? The less you take the faster it will sell.

Then rent for a year and save everything you can
(you'll be debt free) and then purchase something
else

My advice would be to contact a Realtor in your local area. They would be able to answer your questions regarding your homes approximate sales price as well as approximate time on the market. You need professional advice IMMEDIATELY. A Realtor will be able to give you more information so you can make an informed decision.

Couple of things.

Go back the the lender and tell them that you can't afford this higher payment. They don't want you to foreclose either, so you may get some help there.

Try to Refinance.

Open a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) and the mortgage difference out of there to keep your head above water until you can sell the home.

Ask the bank to reduce your loan ammount. While this is infrequently done, it can allow you to reduce the amount of money owed on a loan. There are tax ramifications to this.

You might try a 1039 Real Estate Exchange to "swap" properties.

Can you change your IRA into a Self Directed IRA and use your IRA to keep yourself afloat.

When you Re-fi, make sure you get a fixed, okay? =)

Why are you stressing.Go rent and save up.Houses will be selling for dirt cheap next summer.Buy using a co signer and put all that money you saved as downpayment.Buying now will be like changing trains going in the same direction. as the house market will continue to go down. .good luck.
