Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

depending on what you want to have as the outcome, you may need to consider bankruptcy. As for the bank coming after the Maryland house, it depends on how the Florida house is disposed of and whether Maryland allows for them to attach to your asset there.

If you try and are successful in a short sale of the Florida house, and if it is negotiated properly then you should not be responsible for any deficiency on the home. If it's not negotiated properly then you could be on the hook for the entire deficiency.

You should schedule an appointment to discuss your case with an attorney who works with financial issues such as yours. My firm handles short sales, loan modifications, foreclosures, and bankruptcy, and we can give you the name of a couple of attorneys in Palm Beach County who may be able to help you out. Just send us an email.

It depends, and I can't really answer based on this limited information. Even if you do a short sale, you will probably want to defend the foreclosure at the same time. Please feel free to email or call me and include your phone number so I can call you back. I am a foreclosure defense attorney licensed in Florida, Maryland, and D.C. Regards,

Not if you and your realtor negotiate the short sale properly.
