Is it possible to purchase a different house with a foreclosure on your credit report?

It is possible, cash purchase, or substantial change in your ability to pay which would make the bank think you are a good credit risk. This could be in the amount of time since your foreclosure and maybe you have proved through repayment of another loan that things have changed since the foreclosure. Amount of time since foreclosure, repayment history, amount of credit, amount of debt are all items considered in your credit report which then gives you a score and the bank or mortgage company uses this to determine what kind of loan (rate and terms) you will get if any. All of this being said it is NOT easy especially in today's market.

Can I surrender a home and not be in foreclosure?

Yes, it's called a Deed-In-Lieu of foreclosure. You agree to walk away from the home and deed the property back to the mortgage company. This will still have a negative impact on your credit, but not as bad as a foreclosure. Most of the time, a Deed-In-Lieu is a cheaper option for the mortgage company as well because of all of the additional attorney fees/costs associated with the foreclosure process. However, a lot of mortgage companies still have rather restrictive guidelines for accepting a Deed-In-Lieu, some of these restrictions may require the mortgage has already been delinquent for some time, and that the property has been listed for sale at fair market value for a minimum of time (usually 90 days). Because the mortgage industry is struggling, these guidelines are ever changing and often can be bypassed. Call your mortgage company to find out what their specific guidelines are for accepting a Deed-In-Lieu. If you haven't already put your home up for sale, it would be a good place to start. If you can get a reasonable offer, even if it's less than the mortgage, your mortgage company may accept a short sale, which will be better for your credit and will also save the mortgage company money.

Tax Lien priority in foreclosure?

Well it depends on what type of Tax lien we are talking about. But first rule of thumb, liens have priority based on Irs Tax liens are prioritized like most other liens, by date of recordation. Actually IRS liens can fall further down the list based on when perfected.....but all in all, IRS tax liens do not supercede other legal liens State Tax Liens can superced tax liens depending upon State laws but stilll are subordinate to all other previously filed legal liens. Property Tax liens take priority over all liens, regardless or recordation, perfection, etc. Think of it this way, when you buy property, property taxes are an inherent obligation that attaches as soon as the ink on the deed is dry. There's no attorney on earth that can record a mortgage lien that fast!
