short sale or just bankruptcy?

[lalis1976_att_net]

Bought a house almost 4 yrs ago $340,000, went into loan modification and I believe it was accepted, payment went from $2600 to $1600 and $1900 by the fifth year, the situation now is that the property is only worth about $130,000 so even though the payment is not too bad right now, we are more than $200,000 so it does not make sense as a good investment it will take us for ever to at least break even, We need some knowledgeable opinions before we decide what to do. Should we do a bankruptcy? and after that how long will it be before we can again buy a home for our family?
Thanks

I process foreclosures all day. A bankruptcy is not a bad option, but it will remain on your credit for 7 years, and if you've had a hard time with this mortgage it may be tough to get another mortgage years down the road. You could also try to stay in your home, because the housing market is going to come back.....one day. If the house is really your only debt, I would check with the bank to see if they would approve you for a short sale, before you jump to bankruptcy.

I live in the US and i really have never seen goodness shown to me this
much in my life as i am a struggling mum with three kids and i have been going
through really rough times in my life and my name is Helen
Peters and in all this hard times, a worse incident occurred in my life as i
lost my job which was my only means of survival and things became really bad as
i had bills to pay and my last son suffered a knee injury incurred when he fell
from a tree house and the doctors informed me that he needed a surgical
operation for his knee so he could walk again and at this point, life was
useless to me as i have no family and no one to run to and each night, i will
sit down and cry till the break of dun until one day, i read an advert on yahoo
answers of man that stated that he could help people in my shoes with loans and
in my desperate situation, i had no choice but i had to try and so shocking and
surprising, it was like an impossibility becoming a reality, i got a loan of
$75,000 USD even with my bad credit within 48 hours and my sons surgery was done
and thank GOD it was successful and now, i am okay and living in comfort with my
kids and i said to my self, i have never ever seen this kind of wonder in life
and i decided i will tell it to the whole wild world and i need every one to
thank GOD for Mr. Lam Lee, the man GOD used to rescue me and my family
even when all hope had been lost and gone and i will say to everyone, no matter
how dark and sinful the world is today, there are still GOD fearing and reliable
people on earth and if you are in my former situation or require a loan
legitimately, i will advice you contact this loan lender and you can reach him
via ([email protected]) ( [email protected])
and i want you all to pray for this man for me
