You wont lose your home if you can afford to make the repayments and also if it is only you going BR then your wife can buy the BI which with your calculations would be about 2k.
If you both go BR then a 3rd person will have to make the offer for the BI which would be 4k at the moment.
The prices of houses are going down all the time and whilst thats not good normally for someone who wants to buy the BI in there home it is an advantage.
Remember that secured debts dont get included unless they become unsecured.
Also as long as the payments can be made then there should not really be an issue.
