What are the pros and cons of a short sale?

In these tough economic times, many people are having a hard time making ends meet. A mortgage causes a steep monthly expense that can become impossible to pay. Due to the downturn in the economy, your income may have decreased and you may be finding your mortgage payments have become unaffordable. Perhaps, you purchased your home during the peak of the real estate market, it has now decreased in value and you are left owing your mortgage company way more than what the property is worth. Perhaps you got stuck with a high interest rate.

If you are finding you cannot sell your home to anyone because it is so underwater, a short sale may allow you to sell your property for less than the amount of your mortgage. There are risks, if the short sale is not arranged correctly. You must make sure you are protected from owing the "shortfall" - the difference between the short sale price and your mortgage - that can arise with these transactions. You also must be very careful about the income tax consequences that can arise from these transactions. We can advise you of any pitfalls that might arise with a short sale. Many who meet with me discover they are better off by just allowing their real estate to go through the foreclosure process.

A short sale involves a special agreement that is made with the lender to take less than the amount that is owed on the mortgage. Like foreclosure, it may have a negative impact on your credit score and can also have a negative impact on your lender. Short sales are becoming more and more common, and they have been used by homeowners to get out of the crippling debt of an underwater mortgage.
