If you have a mortgage that is going to reset, then you should know what the payment will be after it goes up. If you can afford it, then it might be alright. But if the payment will be too high, then you have to figure out another solution.

Look at a refinance first, especially if you’re on time now and your credit is pretty good. Qualifying for a refi now isn’t going to be easy, but it may help you avoid foreclosure down the road.

A foreclosure should be your last option, in the event you’ve tried everything else and just can’t unload the property. Don’t start thinking of letting it go into foreclosure until you seriously can not afford the house anymore.

hi Ronda. In general, a refi to a fixed rate is best. A foreclosure will screw up your credit for 7 long years, avoid it if you can. I’d need some details to advise on refinance. Email me if you want with how much you owe, current interest rate, how much you think it’s worth & what state you live in & I’ll see if I can help.
