foreclosure14 How bad is a foreclosure on your credit and how can I best avoid it?
Donald B asked:


I am not in foreclosure yet, but I recently lost my position and we have very little savings so I don’t know that I will be able to save my house. We just got into our home in July and then my company lost a major account and I was out of work. I am doing sales now, but that is commission based and slow to pay. I have no equity in my home per se, and i live in California. I guess I’m wondering with the market the way it is, it might be better to walk away and try again in a few years.

foreclosure18 What does foreclosure mean for my taxes?
blavelin asked:


A property that I am a co-signer on is going into foreclosure. In a question I asked previously regarding this matter, someone pointed out that I will be sent a 1099-c form. What exactly does this mean? If the house is sold at auction will I owe taxes on the amount the house sells for or the amount that was owed or, if the house does not sell for enough, will I owe taxes on the amount not paid?

If we can sell the house before the foreclosure is complete, how does that impact the situation? I’m so confused.

And please, no posts about your tax or loan company. I will report it as abuse.

foreclosure19 How can I find out if a house is undergoing foreclosure?
jtkestrel asked:


I’m suspicious that our house is undergoing foreclosure, but I can’t prove it. I live in the state of California, but how can I find out whether or not a house is in foreclosure, or about to enter foreclosure?
‘m suspicious that our house is undergoing foreclosure, but I can’t prove it. I live in the state of California, but how can I find out whether or not a house is in foreclosure, or about to enter foreclosure?

I guess I should have clarified: I’m a renter, so I have no clue what’s going on with this house.
