A deed-in-lieu of foreclosure may be an option if you are trying to move out of your home and avoid foreclosure. This may help you avoid being responsible for any amount left on the mortgage and avoid foreclosure, both of which can affect your ability to purchase another home in the future.
Yes, a deed in lieu of foreclosure harms your credit, but less so than a foreclosure would. If you obtain a deed in lieu, your mortgage will be listed on your credit reports as closed with a zero balance, but not paid in full.

The primary disadvantage to the borrower is the loss of the property, the income from the property, and the borrowers investment in the property. The conveyance of the property is also taxable.
