My girlfriend and I got a house a year ago in Maryland. The loan is entirely in her name but the title of the house is in both our name. We are in over our head with this loan and with the state taxes for Maryland going up each year and thus the escrow we are finding it impossible to keep up. When we did a fair market analysis on the house using a local real estate agent we found in just 1 year we have negative ,000 equity in the house. My question is this, if the house goes through foreclosure will my credit be affected? What if we get married before the foreclosure? I’m worried if we get married at the wrong time and we lose the house it will be tied to my name as well. We are thinking if she loses the house maybe I can get one in just my name next year. Anyone knows if this will work? Thanks in advance…..
Some additional details that might help clarify our situation. The house loan is 0,000 or ,300 a month. My girlfriend makes 0 a month. Not nearly enough to pay the mortgage. The idea when we bought it was for me to pay the loan as she doesn’t make enough to pay it herself and with a baby coming we wanted a nice house to raise our son in. She got one of those shady deals where they gave her a 0,000 loan by saying she was self-employed when she in fact she wasn’t. Before this housing and banking collapse you could get a loan without documenting your income and your ability to pay by claiming you’re self-employed. Nice little loop-hole huh? Anyway, she never said she was self-employed mind you but the guy that worked out her loan said he would put in through like this otherwise she would never qualify for a loan. I couldn’t be on the loan because I had lost my house to foreclosure due to a nasty divorce a year before that. It’s now been more than 2 years since my fore

I am not on the first mortgage. The other investor is not on the second mortgage. He wants me to quit claim my interest so he can put it in a trust. Will the bank call my loan on the second? How does the foreclosure on the first effect me and my loan on the second?
Update, according to the attorney. We both have a first mortgage on the house, due to the fact that I am not on his, he is not on mine. The bank can foreclose on him but they will own half the house. As long as I make my payments I own half the house. It becomes a legal mess but the bank cannot sell the house only tie it up.

Back in 2006 my mom did a investment on a few properties with a builder down in ATL and we are in OH…She took out a home equity loan of 0,000 and he agreed to pay the mortgage while the investment was in progress…There is a signed contract that she has in hand…Not only did he not follow his commitment but made money off of the investment and never returned her portion…She almost went into foreclosure and has had to downsize since then..It has caused her a lot of grief…Any advice would be great

I loaned someone money so they could get a second mortgage. Now I am afraid the house is going to go into foreclosure. Will my second mortgage be payed off first when it gets auctioned off, or the first? What does this mean for me?
Thanks everyone, and Michael, I am fairly sure that the two mortgages are through the same lender, so if this is the case, then I guess the first mortgage would be paid off first and if there was not enough money to pay off the second then I would owe that money. Is this correct?

The house is only 10k. So if I pay 10k cash, how fast can I do a home equity loan for that 10k? I need to make repairs as it is a foreclosure in poor condition. Can I do a refinance loan and get more than I even paid for it if it appraises higher than 10k, which it will? Thanks for any help

We will be listed as "entering foreclosure" until September, but have already made 5 consecutive payments into the forebearance plan, including a large down payment. However, in order to get our finances in order and pay education costs, we need to take out a home equity loan. Will lenders approve the loan (if we have one great credit score, one bad, and a good income) in our current state? Or would it be rejected outright?

I went to look at a house yesterday and the real estate agent was explaining to me that the homeowner had bought the house for more than he was selling it for and that he had also taken out a home equity loan on the house. She said therefore it was the bank that would decide whether or not they would be accepting out bid because he owes more on the house than he can make off it. She didn’t say he was in foreclosure at all but she used a term for the situation that I can’t remember, I believe it was something having to do with stop or step, does anyone know?
