I Haven’t Filed My 2010 Tax Return -- Can I Apply for a Short Sale?
Generally, short sale lenders require a copy of two years tax returns to complete a short sale application. I am routinely asked by potential short sale sellers whether they can apply for a short sale even though they have not yet filed their 2010 taxes. The answer is yes, you can still apply for a short sale, although you must supply your 2009 and 2008 tax return records, and a copy of the extension form for your unfiled 2010 return. You do not have to wait until your 2010 tax return is filed to apply for a short sale.
If you are considering a short sale of your Santa Maria, Orcutt, or Nipomo home, you should seek out an experienced Central Coast Short Sale Agent to guide you through this process. If you would like a short sale consultation, please call my office to schedule a meeting or a telephone consultation at (805) 938-9950.
