Deed in lieu -- is this my solution?
Hello, I have a house, which has been vacant for 4 months, and I've tried to rent it, sell it, anything. It is in immaculate shape, but it hasn't moved. Although payments are not yet late, but I am financially strapped and cannot make this month's payment or any future payments. I would like to approach the bank and ask for a deed in lieu. I owe $107,000, no junior liens, and the appraisal is about $114,000. But property values in the neighborhood have gone down. My question is, since I haven't been living in it for 4 months, would the bank even consider a deed in lieu? If the bank knows I haven't been living there, would I get in trouble? I have a conventional owner-occupied loan. Could the bank make me liable for any deficiency when they sell it? I'm in Georgia. Thanks.
