Yes, you'll be in trouble soon as the taxes become delinquent. Also, you'll be legally responsible if anyone gets injured or if the city must tear it down or clean it up for public health reasons. If the home is paid off there is no reason not to try to sell it for an extremely attractive price, "as is", rather than abandoning it.

How old do you have to be to stay home on your own?

Usually you have to be about...Ten or Twelve years old. It depends on the laws where you live. However, the question isn't how old YOU have to be to stay home alone. The real question is at what age is it legal for an adult to leave a dependent minor alone. So if you're 8 and your parent leave you at home while they go out for a few hours, they get in trouble not you.

How does deed in lieu work?

The deed in lieu is pretty straightforward. In short, it means that the mortgage creditor will accept the deed of the house in lieu of payment when the debt owner is no longer able to pay upon the debt. When this happens, the home owner surrenders the property and moves out saving the mortgage creditor the lengthy time and legal trouble of taking an legal action upon the home owner to remove the home owner from the premises, enabling the creditor to recover the debt owed. Usually this is to the benefit of the home owner in situations where the housing market is depressed, there are many foreclosures on the market preventing the usual sale of the home, and the amount of equity in the house is not worth keeping the house, and/or selling the house under normal market circumstances. If you have a second mortgage, you should also consider that that debt is yours because the mortgage creditor is only concerned about the first mortgage, and not any subsequent mortgages taken against the home.
