How to resolve foreclosure?
Where do I start…
Ok, My boyfriend foreclosed on a house about 2 years ago now after trying to sell it for about 5-6 months. This all spiralled from losing his job when his company shut it’s doors. So yeah he tried everything he could to keep it and it would not sell so his only option at that point was walk away. The bank was very understandable and worked with him as best they could through it all and they told him just to move out quietly when it became obvious it was not selling and he was more and more behind.
So he moved out and never heard a thing afterwards, they never took him to court, he never recieved a notice saying he owed anything, nothing. They sold the house shortly after he moved out. He has been renting ever since and he has a very good job now.
Well, now we want to buy a house together so my question is, what should he do now? a lawyer thinks he should file bankruptcy, but its been 2 yrs (he’s not in trouble now) I think that would make things worse…
We’re not minor’s and I don’t appricate the comment about skipping payments on a rental. We’re both very smart with our money and we know how to budget, we don’t go and blow it. There are so many houses available in our area for incredable prices, this is why we are looking to buy now. We plan on Wedding in the next year or 2 but we want to get a house now while prices are good. Oh and we had talked to a mortage broker and when he did our approval he never said a thing about the foreclosure, just that his credit was in the mid range, or will that come up when we get the final actual home loan?
