You will have to negotiate with the mortgage company. You should get an attorney to represent you so you won't be at a disadvantage.

The only way to get out of it would be to pay off the balance.

Paying it off or refinancing are the only options I see, short of walking away from the property.

As with any mortgage you would have to repay the loan.

Assuming the lending company will allow you to cancel the deal, you would have to pay back all the funds you have received to date, all fees, fines, and other termination costs, and probably some interest.
