Foreclosed Duplexes

Question: forcloser question on a duplex in 2 parties names..?

myself and my brother bought a duplex in florida when the market was at an all time high and now its gone down so low that its worth less then 1/2 of what we paid.. both my name and his name are on the mortgage.. my question is... i want out of the mortgage at any cost, i cant even rent it out and get what my mortgage is... i was gonna tell my bother to put the whole thing in my name and let it foreclose and i'll take the bad credit... is this posible or is this not an option ?

Answer: Depends. You CAN have your brother "Quit Claim" te property into your sole name but that does NOT take his name off of the loan. You would then need to take the Quit Claim deed after it is recorded to the mortgage company and have them put the loan entirely into your name and IF they are willing to do this then you MAY be able to surrender the property without affecting your brothers credit but since the bank also KNOWS the value of the property has decreased letting somebody who MAY be liable in the future for payments walk away for no good reason would be a hard sell.

Austin Texas Foreclosed Homes

Question: Foreclosed Homes In Austin Texas?

My fiancee and I are looking to buy a foreclosed home in Austin Texas within the next few months. We have little-to-no credit and we make less than $40,000 a year (combined). Our apartment's lease will end in April and we need to have a home lined up by that time. Is this even possible? We have NO idea where to start! Please help us!

Answer: If your credit is poor or non-existent, you will need to apply for a FHA loan in order to obtain any financing whatsoever. Contact a lender to find out what amount of money you will be able to borrow to purchase a house. Then contact a qualified real estate buyer agent to assist you in your house search. Don't limit yourselves to only foreclosed houses. They aren't the fantastic deals which many make them out to be. Any lender selling a foreclosure will seek to get as close to market value as is possible.

Good luck.
