    DIL Foreclosure Offer

    Hello all,

    I'm getting close to filing a BK7 for all sorts of assorted reasons (in about a month or so).

    My home's 1st and 2nd mortgages were owned by the same company until very recently. Foreclosure is set around June 1st, so I've asked the 1st mortgage holder for a Dee in Lieu. The second holder has contacted me and offered 10% of the balance as a settlement. That works out to about $7,000.

    Frankly, the house is worth less than 50% of the original loan amount, and I have no intentions of keeping it at all. I just want it gone.

    Should I even bother with a DIL and/or settlement? How might that impact or be impacted by my BK7 filing?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Surrender your house in the BK.

    The first probably will not accept the Deed in Lieu because you have a second.

    Why give the second $7000? It is throwing away money.

    Stay in your house as long as you can to save funds after you bk so you can move.

      Thanks for the suggestion. Just exploring potential options, guess there really aren't any better than the path I'm on now (BK7). Thanks again!
