WA State reduces the amount of time lenders can come after waived mortgage debt, starting June 2012!

Seriously, folks here in WA, this is BIG news that is positive for upside down homeowners doing short sales or who may be foreclosed on later this year. I know reading bills enacted into law is pretty dull, but the drop from 6 years to 3 years for a lender to come after a homeowner for wiped out debt is fantastic!

Here is the bill that covers the new change from a 6-year period reducing it down to 3-years plus other items that were in the same legislation.
