Should I just walk away?

Firstly, you should not think about walking away if there is a chance that you can save your home. There may be solutions that you are not aware of. Most homeowners do not know all the options available to them. But, the experts who deal with foreclosure situations daily may know and may be able to suggest something that can help you.

If there is nothing that can be done, you can consider walking away from your home and your mortgage obligations. However, you need to be sure that the mortgage company (or companies) is not going to sue you later. It could be years before they decide to sue you. If you just have a first mortgage to worry about, then it might make sense to try to make sure that you are going to walk away free and clear and the mortgage company will not come after you. There are many homeowners that thought their problems were behind them until, after the foreclosure sale, they found out the hard way that the lenders had no been paid off and they wanted money from the homeowners still.

If the lender cannot sue you, then you probably have a non-recourse loan. You need to check with your state what the lenders can or cannot do. State laws vary from state to state.

Should I walk away if I have a second mortgage too?

Usually walking away will not get you free from the second mortgage debt and the second mortgage lender would likely come after you for the money you owe.
