Lets start with you don't file BK for a thing...a this or a that...YOU file bankruptcy. It involves and EVERYTHING you owe and everything you own. Some certain things may be exempt (or treated specially) from being used to pay a debt, and some debts may not be cleared. A secured debt, that is one that has a right to a certain asset, has first call on the funds from the sale of the asset....and if that isn't enough, any additional amounts can be claimed as unsecured debts owed, and provided by other assets.
But the important thing to start is you do not pick and chose what you want to include...because just like your question...you would include the loan 9and every debt)...but not the property, or assets!
Under C 13 BK, if you qualify, you will pay back the debts under a payment plan and keep the assets, while protected by the court from seizure actions.
Yes but its not easy and not very likely. but there is still a chance you can.
In bankrupcty you MUST still file income tax
The Reverse Mortgage is a national program which is offered to senior homeowners 62 years and older which allows for you to access your homes equity without a monthly repayment. reverse mortgage allows a senior home owner to convert their home equity to cash. These loans may be availed by senior home owners having equity in their homes. If an individual is a senior citizen and does not intend on moving out of his or her home for some time, a reversed mortgage may be an option worth considering. Apart from being 62 years of age or older, the borrower must be the absolute owner of their house in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage. It is also important to note that it is still possible for qualified homeowners to obtain a reverse mortgage if they still owe a small amount of money on their conventional mortgage. However, should this situation occur, the home owner is still required to pay down the balance of the conventional mortgage.
Not all loans require mortgage insurance If you are using FHA financing, you'll need mortgage insurance regardless of the downpayment. Conventional loan financing less than 20% requires MI. On a conventional loan, you may have the option of building in the MI into your interest rate. Your rate will be higher, but at least this way it's a tax deduction in the form of mortgage interest paid. MI is still a tax deduction but not all qualify for the deduction and the deduction is due to go away 12-31-2011.
