Will foreclosure keep you from buying a house in the future?

It's better to sign the house back to the financer to save them the trouble of going through foreclosure, just for their convenience. If you keep your credit clean for a few (3 or more) years, you should be able to purchase a house, but be prepared to come up with a 20% down-payment and pay higher interest than others. Generally speaking a foreclosure will effect your ability to buy another home for around five years. If you are able to do it a short sale would be a better route than being foreclosed on. You can also consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney if you have questions.
