If your name is on the loan, it's quite possible. You might be able to negotiate a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
You should talk to an attorney in your area, who can give you reliable advice about what to do with this property, based on all of the facts of your situation. It's worth the cost, because a mistake in real estate can get very expensive, very easily. One place to find a qualified lawyer is our website, http://attorneypages.com
