If you file for bankruptcy, you may be able to keep your house, depending on your choice of bankruptcy chapter and equity. In Chapter 7, your home may be protected by the homestead exemption. In Chapter 13, you can repay missed mortgage payments and potentially remove second mortgages or liens.
Whether you lose your car in bankruptcy depends on several factors, including ownership, equity, loan payments, and the bankruptcy chapter you choose.
Colorado law has a car equity exemption that protects up to $15,000 in equity ($25,000 for the elderly or people living with disability). However, if your equity exceeds the exemption, you may need to surrender your vehicle or include it in your bankruptcy repayment plan.
