Best way to get out of a Chicago home I no longer want, and I'm under water with the mortgage?

Chicago, IL Viewed 43 times. Posted 3 months ago in Foreclosure

I have a chicago home worth 160K according to Zillow, with a 1st mort of 209.3K & 2nd of 28.5K. I'm single(divorced) and live in this home. I am 55 Y.O.
The P&I+Escrow is over 50% of my take home pay. I cannot save any $ and I am selling assets to make ends meet.
I have no real savings. just 401K from work.
I don't want the house.
I can move in with someone, or rent something cheaper and live just fine.
I am very open minded about my options.
Will listen to everyone and anyone.
Calls I make from referrals go nowhere. why can't anyone help me?

Unfortunately, you are experiencing the same problem many others are. You have a number of options, but the first step is contacting the bank or an attorney to discuss the matter to find a way to work out this situation. I am not sure whom you are speaking with from your referrals. Feel free to email me directly to discuss this further.
