    Mortgage, And Equity Loan Do Foreclosure, Or Deed In Lieu Of Payment, Which Should I Do?

    I have a first mortgage and a equity line, I do not think the house will sell for the total due. If I did back to the first mortgage am I liable for the equity loan. If I wait and let it foreclose which can take 6-8 months. I do not know what to do. I am a single mom(widow) I think the first company will short sale it for their amount and I may be stuck for the equity line. Please if you can help me.

    If you are foreclosed upon you may still be held responsible for the difference from what the bank is able to sell it for & how much i still owed.&tbsp; and yes you may still be responsible for the equity line.&tbsp; suggestion to save your credit & your mind:&tbsp; offer 1st mortgage holder a deed in lieu of foreclosure...in essence simply give it back.
