Should I surrender my investment properties BEFORE filing Chapter 13? Should I shortsale or deed in lieu?
Question Details: I am planning on filing chapter 13 and have been advised to surrender the properties before I file. so I am debating if I should let it foreclose, sign a deed in lieu or short sale. I have several investment properties that I am trying to short sale. we finally got the approvals and waiting for the closing docs so we are waiting for closing docs any day now. question: if a short sale results in a 1099 and a deed in lieu results in a 1099 then why do a deed in lieu??? should I complete the short sales?

The wrong step could cost you thousands of dollars in income taxes. You need an experienced lawyer because chapter 13 is difficult to manage. There are a lot of issues raised by the existence of the mortgage loans.
