Lets start with - a thing doesn't file BK...a this or a that...YOU file bankruptcy. It involves 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 able to be cleared (like child support, student loans). A secured debt, that is one that has a right to a certain asset (like the house that secures the loan from the prior owner), has first call on the funds from the sale of that 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 choose what you want to include...because just like your question...you would include the loan (and 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.

It depends on which "chapter" of bankruptcy you file. I suggest you speak with an attorney to see what you can do.
Generally you have to list your home as an asset. But there are different kinds of bankruptcy, and if things work out, your home ownership could be protected. See a bankruptcy lawyer!!
Yes you can file bankruptcy. However the "rent to own home" is not owed by you and is still owned by the "landlord". You can continue with the "rent to own" or walk away. Bankruptcy is an entitlement to citizens for debt relief
Absolutely. Happens all the time.
