Quit Claim Deeds and Real Estate

Ask Kate: Quit Claim Deeds and Real Estate Question Kate, I made a huge mistake a few years ago and gave up interest on a condo without doing anything about the loan. In essence, I lost the property but the loan is still in my name.

The property management company that now owns it rents it out and doesn't much care when it pays the rent, thus I take regular dings on my credit rating. I've contacted them and they tell me that the only resolution is to pay off the loan. I've talked with FHA and they could care less that the loan requires that the property be owner-occupied.

Kate, what can I do to get out from under this mess?
