⚖️  Law

I purchased my townhouse in Georgia in 2007 with a mortgage of $117,500. Payments, including taxes and insurance, are $875 per month under a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. I am currently up-to-date on the mortgage, but I also have a small credit card debt ($1,500) and a school loan ($13,000). Other townhouses in my development, all newer than mine, are listed for sale at $82,900 and have been on the market for over two years. I have just lost my job and can no longer afford the house payment. I will most likely have to relocate to pursue a job in my field. What should I do with my house? Should I consider a strategic default, foreclosure, bankruptcy, or a short sale? Thank you for your assistance.
