How to Do a Short Sale in Massachusetts or New Hampshire One thing I'm constantly asked by homeowners is how can they short sale their property? I wish this was an easy question to answer, but there are many variables that affect a homeowner who is underwater with their mortgage. First, what Massachusetts and New Hampshire homeowners should know is that those states are recourse states. What this means is the lender CAN pursue a homeowner for any deficient amount.
