Denny was neither bankrupt nor insolvent but was short of cash and could not make the mortgage payments on his personal residence in 2010. The bank that held the mortgage agreed to reduce the principal on the debt from $100,000 to $80,000 so that Denny's monthly mortgage payments could be reduced to a manageable amount. Denny also had a vacation home with a mortgage whose payments were beyond his means. The mortgage holder on the vacation home agreed to reduce the mortgage from $60,000 to $50,000. The value of the personal residence was $80,000 and the value of the vacation home was $45,000 at the dates of the debt reduction.
