Re: Foreclosures
You should consult with an attorney regarding a chapter 13. If the chapter 13 is not available you should list the house for sale. Better to sell it than lose at a foreclosure sale.
Re: Foreclosures
You have either lied about your income to get the loan, or you have one of those adjustable rate mortgages. (Please refer to the commercial with the woman with the monkey on her back for my opinions on someone obtaining an adjustable rate mortgage on their home.)
As I read your post, you have a $3,900 mortgage payment with monthly take home of $4,200. This means you must be subsisting on peanut butter and ramen noodles.
I suggest you attempt refinancing or short sale.
Very truly yours,
