One big question for any distressesd home owner is: Should I short sale or foreclose?
Well, let's take a simple look at this:
Regularly this is what happens:
|
Issue |
Foreclosure |
Successful Short Sale |
|
Future Fannie Mac Loan Non Primary |
Not eligible to get a loan for about 7 years |
Can get a loan after 2 years |
|
Future Fannie Mac Loan Primary Residence |
Not eligible to get a loan for about 5 years |
Can get a loan after 2 years |
|
Future mortgage with any Mortgage Company |
Will be questioned if had a foreclosure for the past 7 years |
Questions and questions are not the same |
|
Security Clearance |
Depending on where the borrower works, the clearance will be revoked and the borrower can lose their job |
This does not challenge most security clearances |
|
Credit Score |
Score will be lowered about 250 to 300 points |
Score will be lowered about 50 points and mostly for the late payments. And for about 12 to 18 |
|
Credit History |
Stays on record for about 10 years |
Short sale is not reported. Shows paid in full on credit history |
