Consideration of entering into a Short Sale presents one of the most complicated real estate transactions you can do in today's market. Failure to look at and obtain professional advice before hand could result in even larger problems after the fact. At the least you will need a Real Estate Short Sale Expert and a Real Estate Attorney or Accountant to explain your options...and YOU DO HAVE OPTIONS!
1. Do nothing (continue to pay the mortgage and wait for the market to improve)
2. Sell (sell the property in a conventional manner and if you are short cash to close pay
for it out of your pocket)
3. Short Sale (sell the property under a lender approved hardship and let the lender
absorb any deficiencies)
4. Deed in-Lieu of Foreclosure (in some cases a lender will agree to take the property
back in lieu of foreclosing)
5. Foreclosure (walk away and let the lender foreclose)
6. On Wednesday July 30th President Bush signed the "Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008" providing a 6th Option. This bill provides for potential refinancing of loans that fall under a hardship. As initially presented refinancing of any hardship loan will require the original lender to accept a short payoff from the borrower and the borrower will have to qualify for the new loan with a minimum of 10% equity. The core strength of this program is the borrower gets to maintain ownership and occupancy of the property at a new lower market value.
All 6 of these options have complicated and impacting implications. Due to the unique nature of every transaction and individual situation your case needs to be evaluated separately.
