Option No. 1: Retain experienced legal Counsel to advise you and to perotect your best interessts.

Option No.2: Continue to collect rents, maintain property,

Option No. 3: Walk away from this property, alert tenants of your departure, and that they m,ay face foreclosure and eviction in coming months..

Option No. 4: Once foreclosure has been filed against your interests in the property, consider declaring Bankruptcy for protectioon from default judgment.

Option No. 5: Contact and retain experienced legal counsel to advise you. This is not a Monopoly game..one wrong misstep and you may lose the game.

Good luck.
