What is a Short Sale?
A short sale is necessary when the proceeds from the sale of your home are not enough to pay off the loan balance against the home, thus prohibiting the sale. A short sale will allow a homeowner to sell their home for less than the amount owed on the mortgage and the difference does not have to be paid back to the lender.
4 Myths About Short Sales
I don't have a serious enough hardship to qualify for a short sale.
Today, it's harder to Not qualify, than it is to Qualify. There are numerous ways to qualify for a short sale and a borrower does not have to be behind on payments. If a borrower can show that they are struggling to make payments or are facing some other type of hardship such as a divorce, tenant moving, job transfer, medical emergency, decrease in pay, etc., then a bank will seriously consider approving a short sale.
I'll be responsible for the difference between what I owe and what my home sells for.

My credit will be ruined if I do a short sale.
A short sale can actually save your credit. It is treated by your lender as a "settlement of debt", and as opposed to a foreclosure, it is infinitely easier on credit and for a much shorter period of time.
I will owe taxes on the amount of loss that the bank takes on my short sale.
This can be avoided most of the time. As an example, if your lender accepts $100,000 less than what you owe them they may report this amount to the IRS, and you will be taxed on that $100,000 as 'ordinary income' at the end of the year. Good news is there are many ways to avoid this tax, including recent legislation. You can research the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 or see if you qualify for "Insolvency". Contact your tax advisor.
Why our System works and can work for you:
We have been doing Short Sales since 2007 and have developed a system over the past few years that take the guess work out of successfully completing a short sale. We provide all of our sellers with an upfront offer from our investor group. Because banks do not start processing short sales until an offer is submitted, this allows us to start negotiating with the lender right away thus starting the approval process right away. This approval process can take anywhere from 30 to 60 days depending on the lender that owns the loan. Seeing that homes are sitting on the market for 60 to 90 days or more without an offer, this upfront offer can save homeowners months of crucial time especially if they are struggling to make payments. Contact Rod Watson today at 619-512-9120 for a free consultation to find out more and to see if you can qualify for a short sale. Again, our short sale program is FREE you have nothing to lose!
