Own 2 houses and need to walk away from 2nd one.?
Buyer for my 1st house backed out and i cannot do both mortgages. if I move back to 1st house and forclose on 2nd will i lose both even if i have homestead protection on 1st when i move back in. First house has much more equity for us but cannot get another loan or even pay for what we have.
Second house is still a construction loan that has not been converted yet and we are struggling badly now and when it converts rates are going up

Mortgage is a secured loan. as long as you have separate loans for both mortgages you will only lose the house that goes into foreclosure.

Contact your mortgage company and find out if you qualify for the Loss Mitigation or Homeowner Assistance program for either Pre Foreclosure Sale program or Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure.

Pre Foreclosure will allow you to sell the house for less then what is owed w/o the extreme negative reporting of a foreclosure. Deed in Lieu will allow you to return the home to the mortgage company instead of going to foreclosure. Depending on the loan type, those options may vary but not by much. Most loan types will require you to at least make the attempt to sell the home before you qualify for either program.

There is some protection under the homestead laws depending on your state. However it is a bad situation credit wise and you are not automatically in the clear if they foreclose. You can end up still owing on the foreclosed property or even owing extra income tax because the difference in what is owed and what is realized from a foreclosure sale is charged back to you as income.
Talk to your bank and see if you can do some type of loan suspension or combine the 2 loans and lower payments until you can find another buyer for the 1st house. The banks really don't want your house and they can work with you to figure out an option that prevents foreclosure. You may have to be persistent. If you have a local banker you work with regularly start there, if not try contacting the Loss Mitigation Department of your lender. Be upfront and honest about your situation. If you can't work anything out and do end up in foreclosure be sure you check out the tax ramifications.
Good luck!

Depending on the state and area you are in. A way to definately get a buyer. An option to keep is the Rent to buy option. You give a renter say $1000 worth of monthly credit from a $1600 rent towards purchasing the home you are financially drowning with. An extra incentive is also to offer to be the mortgage holder at a lower than current bank rate. And the best way is to price the home at a price it will definately sell at. If it hasn't sold it is because it is over priced either because of the area, the size of the home, the condition of the home, the neighbors; Besides current economic situations. You may have to take a cut in the price but make up part of it in the lower interest you get over the years. And remember make the note negotiable thus if after a couple of years you want to sell the note for the lump sum cash value you can, be fair to the buyer no penalties for prepaying, if they want to pay you at any point and refinance..

We were in the EXACT same situation.

We rented our second home for about the mortgage payment. We plan on keeping it rented in hopes that the market will rebound in a few years and we will then be able to pull our equity out...

a word of Caution... You will need to pay capital gains tax if you cannot prove that you have lived in the house for 3 of the last 5 years...

Sometimes investors will take over one of your loans to buy your house and may even give you a little cash in addition to avoid you having a problem with you getting bad credit. They usually want to get some equity above what they have to pay in order to do this. I could connect you to someone if you were interested. Where are you located?

Where is your first home located

I had a similar situation, two mortgages, one not selling and not close to my new job. I rented it out. The realtor that was trying to sell it told me for three months that she couldn't rent it either. I took out an ad in the local paper and rented it in 3 days. There are not many good rentals on the market right now, so keep the price reasonable, just above your mortgage payment, and find a good person to take care of it for you. Our plan is to try to sell it again in a couple years when the housing market is hopefully straightened out. Then again the renter is already asking if we want to sell it, she never thought of owning her own home until she rented a house instead of an apartment. Good Luck.

Here are couple options you may or may not have thought about... can you short term rent your current house to at least help with the mtg until the other house is completed? Also - if you have qualified for another mtg and you have alot of equity in the first house, I can not see how you couldnt get another loan or equity line on that house.
If you have not applied for homestead and closed on second it should be fine as far as that goes, but if you let the home go in to foreclosure, understand this is a death sentence for future loans and credit. It is the worst thing you can do. If you would like to email me, maybe I can help... proactive1@prodigy.net
