do you loose your house in a chapter 13?

In general, you do not lose any assets in a Chapter 13.  The trade-off is that you must pay out to your creditors at least as much as they would get in a chapter 7 liquidation. However, if your house has mortgages against it and you fail to make the required mortgage payments, then the creditors can seek permission from the bankruptcy court to foreclose on the property.
