  Inspirational Power Quote   Your Destiny is Your Choice   "Destiny is not a matter of chance, but a choice.  Not something to wish for, but to attain."  William Jennings Bryant    As I see it. . . . . . . .

  Many of my clients ask me why should I do a short sale vs. a foreclosure.  Here are a few answers to those questions. With a Short Sale you will lose between 125-150 points on your credit score. With a Foreclosure you will lose 250 points in most cases. With a Short Sale we have had an 85% success rate to have the banks waive the right to come after you for the difference of the what is owed, and what the bank receives otherwise known as a deficiency judgement. With a Foreclosure 100% of the time they get a deficiency judgement that in many cases forces the customer into bankruptcy. With a Short Sale the ability to get a new loan is hindered, but only for 2 years. With a foreclosure it is going to be very tough to even get a new loan.  Right now they say about 5 years minimum. There ... 12/18/2008
