How long do I have to stay in my house if I am about to stop paying my mortgage and foreclose due to the fact I am upside down on the mortgage?

While foreclosure is a terrible time for any family, there are specific rules and procedures involved with foreclosure that allow for quite a bit of breathing room, and therefore time before moving out.

The term stalling foreclosure is more a term to describe following the proper procedure during foreclosure which then could possibly lead to a stay of up to two years in your home. This two years of not paying any rent would be invaluable to anyone needing to save money and set up a proper situation for their family.

These procedures are obviously kept secret, as you can tell most families just pick up and move out of their homes. Bankruptcy attorneys often charge hefty fees and can handle many parts of the foreclosure process.

From what I know, the process of staying two years in your home rent free has to do with bankruptcy, and following up on every appeal and procedure possible in the foreclosure scenario.

The only resource I have found online in this regard is a site StallForeclosures.com. Apparently after experiencing the foreclosure process for two years, and staying in their home rent free, they wrote a book about it, so that other families who just need some more time can have it.

I would suggest checking out that site for anymore information to this regard.
