Mortgages Underwater com

Depth of Despair

While driving along Jefferson in Ecorse, I came across a row of for sale signs. I talked to a resident that said that all but one of the units are occupied. In the background is U.S. Steel Corp. I used to work there. I ran into a former fellow co-worker that said that because of the economy, he might not return until next year.

You will know your mortgage is underwater if the current market price of your home is less than the amount of money you owe in mortgage payments for it. So what are the mortgage underwater options you have? Take a look below to get an idea.

The first option you have is definitely to continue living in your home and try paying your mortgage off every month. This is a viable option if you don’t want to lose your home at any cost and there is a possibility that you can make the monthly mortgage payments, even if they are late.

Considering short sale of your home is another mortgage underwater option. You will need your lender’s permission for doing this as you will be selling your home at a price lesser than the amount due on it. This only works if you have it in writing that the lending institution will “forgive” the balance, or that they will negotiate a pay off of the balance that you can handle.

Renting out your home, even if it’s just a couple of rooms is a great idea. You can go stay at a cheaper place for the time it takes to fulfill your mortgage obligations.  You might be able to rent the complete home at a rate high enough to make the mortgage payments on time and have a balance left over, that is if you can stay with family or friends in the interim.
