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.
