What to do with an Adjustable Rate Mortgage?
What can I do with my Interest Rate that is now variable? Now that my property decreased $15,000, the monthly payment is now way higher, I don't want to pay the mortgage anymore, and I can't pay two houses at the same time, I don't know what to do if I want to cancel everything is going to cost me about $50,000, and the only choice I'm aware of is declare bankruptcy and my credit is very good, and I don't want to do that, I need help.

See if you can convert your mortgage(s?) to interest only for now - it will greatly reduce you monthly payment.

As for property decreasing in vlaue - in what way does this make your payment higher? I can appreicate the TEMPORARY loss of equity - but the only thing that should increase your monthly payment is an increase in the interest rate.

Interest only mortgage should save you (very roughly) about 25% assuming you have a typical duration mortgage, even more if your mortgage is a short term one.

You really ought to speak with a financial adviser OR talk with someone from the mortgage company, taking advice from Y!A over something this important is perhaps not the best plan possible - which includes MY thoughts - speak to a professional - and mention any ideas that people throw up on here that seem like they might be worth discussing.

If you cannot afford to keep the house and do not have any equity in it, see if the bank will take a short sale. That is where they take whatever money the house sells for as payment in full.

You don't want to file bankruptcy.

You can try to refinance your home to an interested only the payments will be lower. There are basically two reasons why your payments are higher is one your rate is alot and also that the taxes (if they are included in your mortgage payment) increased. You don't want to go into bankruptcy it will hurt your credit especially if you have good credit. Also are you taking a guess that the property value decreased?? Or did you get it appraised? If you have any questions please do not hesitate e-mail me

either refinance to a fixed rate mortgage, if you have enough equity, or sell one of the properties.

Can you refinance the mortgage? Does it have any clauses? I cant believe banks are still pushing these programs!
Try to get it refinanced to an non variable rate. As for the decrease in property value not much you can doe about that. You say you have two homes? Sell one ASAP. THe market is going to get worse before it gets better. Good luck!

There are a couple of things that you can do and that is file for a chapter 11 or 13 to reorganize your debt. The other is do a short sell on the property that way the bank most of the time will forgive the debt or you will have to pay a minimal amount when you negotiate with the bank. I would advise you to seek legal counsel and talk to them about the two things that I mentioned above. You will feel relieved once you have taken care of that headache.

The above answers are very informative, and a way to go.
There is another way, I have used in the past, to help other people, when I was a real estate investor, buying / selling & financing homes : Check around for a mortage company that will do A BALLOON NOTE- MORTGAGE. This is a special type of financing, some with a variety of options.
Generally, they CAN work like this : Lets say that you bought the home 5 years ago, and financed $100,000.00 at 5 % A.R.M., 30 years(360 months), P.&I. only payments %536.82 per month. Now, 5 years later, the note is ( ABOUT) $91828.73 Early and /or late payments will make a lot of difference. To refinance the $91828.73 and add the additional fees / closing/ refinance costs, etc at $5000.00 on a balloon note to mature 5 years in the future, the payments will be $374.22 (every thing exactly as displayed). BEAR IN MIND THAT A BOLLOON NOTE IS ALSO A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION, IF THE R.E. MKT. CRATERS BEFORE THE BALLOON IS DUE !!!!! ( adjust the figures to accomadate your situation/ condition.) There are banks / mortgage companies doing a lot of advertising about reducing payments (on t.v). now, and I would, at least contact them, HOWEVER, NEVER- NEVER JUMP ONTO THE FIRST THAT OFFERS WHAT SEEMS TO BE YOUR SALVATION !!!! REMEMBER? YOUR CURRENT MORTGAGE COMPANY SELLING YOU A BILL OF GOODS, THAT SOUNDED GREAT, AT THAT TIME ??????
USE YOUR OWN DUE DILLENGE, AS I AM VERY SURE THAT WITH THE HUGE QUANITY OF HOMES IN YOUR PREDICUMENT, AND THE 8,000,000 + FORCLOSED HOMES IN THE USA, ( about $1,200,000,000,000.00 (1.2 Trillion)THERE ARE SOME RIP OFF ARTISTS AROUND !!!
LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, PLEASE SEEK - SEEK - SEEK AN INDEPENDENT, WELL EXPIERENCED, FINANCIAL ADVISOR.! BESY OF LUCK TO YOU AND THE MILLIONS WHO WERE CONNED, IN THE PAST !!!!
