Deed in Lieu
HOW CAN I JUST GIVE MY HOUSE BACK TO THE LENDER?
General lender requirements to do a Deed in Lieu are:
- Home must be listed for 90 days as a short sale without any offer activity
- Financial prequalification (same as short sale)
- Title must be free and clear of any other liens (no 2nd mortgages, HOA liens, etc)

Don’t take action until consulting with an attorney, accountant or a Realtor!
