home foreclosure ramifications
I owe more mortgage than what the house is worth in the current market.?
I have a mortgage and a HELOC on a house which I used to purchase a 2nd house in the hope of selling this house within a 3 months time frame. Time is almost up, so I have to either refinance the house and rent it, or short sale, or foreclosure. I am aware of the ramifications of the latter choices especially since I just purchased a second home. I need help in making a decision – and soon!!
House is in California.
I have people tell me to rent it out even if I would be on the negative, say about $500. I think if I do, I might be negative more than that. So is that a good choice? I am looking at the possiblity of deed in lieu of foreclosure which I am afraid might affect my loan on the second house which is basically our primary residence now.
Laws vary for each state. May I ask where the property is located?
