Extending the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief act until 2014 is a step in the right direction for the housing market.

Good Luck and success.

Michelle - this is something that shouldn't have to be done. It doesn't make sense that you would have to pay taxes on a big loss. Our tax policies need to be rewritten immediately.
