How bad is a foreclosure on your credit and if you go into foreclosure do you still have to pay the 70000 you owe to the lender?
Foreclosure is very bad on your credit report. You should do what you can to avoid it. If the bank forecloses you do not pay back the $70,000. However, if they sell the house for less than owed you may be liable for the difference, unless you have mortgage insurance.
You should note that any amount they forgive counts as income to you--you will owe taxes on that amount. Actually both are wrong. The credit score will drop anywhere from 50-200 pts depending on how much other debt you have. Additionally, each state has its own laws regarding paying back the difference. In Texas, you are responsible for the difference between what you owe and the fair market value. So if you owe 200K, the home is valued at 200K, and the bank sells for 190K, you do not owe anything. In some states, you might owe the 10K, but not all.

What are the pros and cons of a short sale verses a foreclosure?
Both a foreclosure and a short sale will ruin your credit for many years. With a foreclosure, it's best to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy to protect you from the lender. The lender has up to 10 years to come after you for the loan deficiency. For example, if you owed $200,00 on a mortgage, and it cost the lender $75,000 to re-sell your property, you could be liable for that $75,000 deficiency. On a short sale, the lender can still come after you, but the amount that is short can be issued to you on a 1099 as a "loan forgiveness" causing you to pay income tax on that money.
