PUNCTUATION is not optional...:D

If you want any type of reply, please re-write your post as I am having trouble figuring out what you are asking.

Ok, is this what I'm reading???

House is worth $90,000....... has 2 mortgages (one - $111,000 another $8100.00.

Are you asking if the house only sells for $90,000 and $119,100.00 is owed on it does the differencego back into the Chapter 13 for the people to pay...... (approx $29,100.00)????

Is this what your trying to say????

I would think that interest, etc would make a big difference in what the actual payoff of the property is.....

Any suggestions for him, anyone???

First thing to know about short sales is that the Lenders have to agree to it, as it will be the only way to obtain clear title. Basically, your asking the lenders to accept less than what they are owed because the property simply cannot be sold to satisfy the debt.

In most states, a 1st mortgage holder is not entitled to a deficiency balance, but a 2nd mortgage may be entitled to one.

Thus, to answer your question, I do not think the unpaid balance gets rolled into as a general unsecured debt in a chapter 13, at least for the first mortgage.
