Is the 1st Mortgage an FHA loan? If so, you could walk away but still be on the hook for the 36k heloc......Chances are that FHA won't come after you because they're gonna get their share.

I agree with the earlier poster. I see short sale being your only feasible option outside of simply walking away/foreclosure. Because the Short Sale will damage your credit, I would recommend contacting a debt management company at the same time to assess your consumer debt situation. The sooner you begin the sooner it's over and the more time you have to work on recovering your credit. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
