There are many things to consider when facing the possibility of foreclosure and deciding to short sale your property. Time and space to not allow me to get into every aspect of these transactions and all the possible nuances that might need to be dealt with, but I will do my best to cover, what I feel, are the most costly to over look. First let me say that I DO think short sales are great and do a lot of good for people who know they are their best option. I do these for people everyday and I’ve seen people’s lives get A LOT better afterward so the purpose of this article is NOT to paint short sale in a bad light, but rather to inform you of the whole picture some people in my industry WON’T tell you. Lets get to the point… You NEED to know whether a short sale is your best option: First off, you need to know whether doing a short sale is right for YOUR situation. You NEED to asses the situation YOU’RE in and make that decision. So how do you do that? Start by realizing that for the most part short sales help people the most if they CAN’T make their mortgage payments anymore due to a long term hardship. Long term doesn’t mean 20 years or anything, but at least 9 months. For instance getting injured and losing employment for an extended period of time, illness, divorce, etc are reasons most lenders will be ready to approve as a hardship.
