Are there other alternatives to letting the bank foreclose on my since I am unable to sell in this market in our specific area and owe more than the tax apppraisal? The tax apprasial has dropped over $10,000 since I bought the home in 2003 due to our local economy in Warren, Ohio.

If you do not pay your mortgage, the lender may foreclose. Ohio does not have an anti-deficiency statute. Deficiency judgments resulting from foreclosure can be obtained in Ohio.A lender can take action to collect on a deficiency judgment, including garnishing bank accounts and other assets.One possible solution is called a "deed in lieu of foreclosure".This procedure allows you to transfer your property voluntarily to your lender or Mortgage Company in exchange for forgiveness of your indebtedness. Lenders are typically more likely in enter into a deed in lieu when the homeowner is at least 60 days late in payments.
