    What is the FMV?

    Why not lower the proce from 82K and try to sell it?

    What about refi in your name.

    900/mo is way expensive.

    Once again, CJ seems to be right on the money!

    The options I see are to bring in a new loan in your name, provided you have good credit, or talk to the bank about a short sale. Good Luck.

    I believe OH is judicial foreclosure state and takes a long time to go to sale. If this is the case then just sell the property. I doubt if you will get a short sale.

    First, find out how long it takes to go to sale in OH.

    If I can just sign a couple of papers and not expose myself to any real liability...

    a couple grand would make me happy. Not get rich money, but a REALLY nice vacation.
