Is a Short Sale Better for My Credit?
A short sale is usually much better than having a foreclosure on your credit.
A foreclosure may cut your credit score around 200 - 300 points.
A short sale may cut your credit score a lot less depending on if you do or do not miss payments.
Keep in mind, you need good credit and background to get a job.
You need good credit to save money on decent Insurance.
You need good credit to rent a house.
A foreclosure will stay on your credit for up to 7 years.
If your home is upside down, owe more than it is worth, I suggest you go to the upside down page and review your options with a Real Estate Attorney and a CPA. There are future implications and knowing your options is a great start.
As a California Licensed Real Estate Broker, I can get your home sold as a "short sale" and in part, ask the lender to accept less than what is owed on the loan.
I am here to help you, just call me and see for yourself.
