To conduct a short-sale transaction, the bank(s) holding the mortgage(s) have to agree to a short-sale. If your name is not on the Mortgage, technically you don't have a right to conduct a short sale.

Even if you "own" the house (which will be in question during the entire process), the holders of the Mortgage note(s), typically banks or finance companies, actually have primary ownership of the asset (the house).

If you are able to complete a short-sale, even though you are not on the mortgage note, as an owner the bank holding the note may ask you to take partial responsibility for the difference between sale price and mortgage value, or even to put in equity immediately to avoid a short sale situation. If this occurs, and you cannot pay, you will end up with a debt and a schedule to pay that debt. Adding any debt will negatively affect your credit score.

It will affect her credit if she executed the mortgage along with her husband. If her name is not on the mortgage or the property then it will not affect her credit. She should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and determine what her options are. Perhaps the bank would accept a deed from the heirs in lieu of foreclosure.

What happens with your credit if you lost the house for unpaid taxes?

Technically speaking, your home has nothing to do with your credit. A loan taken out with the home as collateral does. Therefore the foreclosure of such collateral by the county for unpaid property taxes will not affect your credit. It is very rare that any lender would allow the county to take a home they have a loan on (they will usually pay the taxes) so I assume you owned the home without a traditional mortgage. What will affect your credit are things like: Tax liens Late payments to a mortgage company Default on any mortgage debt


I am not on the 1st mortgage loan but I co-signed a loan for the second mortgage The 1st mortgage lender is foreclosing If I stay current on the second will my credit show a foreclosure?

the second mortgage is based on the house as collateral. If the house is gone, the bill is due. It is not an unsecured line of credit. When the house goes the 2nd has to be paid in full or it will count against you. The only way around this is to get another line of credit/cash somewhere and pay it in full.


If the house is in your spouses name but you are on the deed can it boost your credit score?

Nope. The lender (mortgage company) is the entity that reports information to the credit agencies, so if your name is not on the loan documents the home will not affect your credit. Being on the deed gives you rights to the property but is not a credit trade line.
