Ok, I am almost positive our CH7 will be an asset case.
Because of the equity in our house.
We owe $18,000.
Tax department says it is worth $45,000.
A 2003 appraisal said it was worth $60,000.
I figure it might sell in the current market, in it's current condition for maybe $30,000.
Anyway, I am sure the trustee is going to make our case an asset case.
Ohio only allows us $10,000 homestead exemption.
I'm not worried about loosing the house. We are actually looking forward to getting rid of it (and our debt) and moving on.
Especially since we aren't using our homestead exemption. If I understand correctly we will be entitled to the first $10,000 in profits from the sale of the house.
What I am curious about though is if the process is similar to a foreclosure.
More specifically if it is an asset case, and the trustee is going to sell the house, is the timeline to vacate the house the same as a forclosure would be.
Anyone with any experience?
