Are more people living with their relatives?

Studies and surveys are showing that over 16% of the nation lives within a multi-generational home. Likely, most of this is caused by the glooming foreclosure issues and what happens after a homeowner forecloses.

A lot of people in distress don’t understand that if a short sale is done rather than a foreclosure, people can recover much quicker, and it makes it easier to rent right after. FHA for instance, will let you finance a home the day after a short sale assuming you are not late on any payments.

@Aram - True..  A lot of times though, people are embarrassed and don't know they do have options.

@Pat - Desperate times call for desperate measures right? In AZ pricing is still low but buying power is awesome right now. Anyone who is in the situation hopefully, is consulting a pro so they can get back on track and take advantage of everything that is out there!!!
