What to Do With a Messy Mortgage?
I am often asked about the differences between letting a house go into foreclosure, having a Short Sale, or filing bankruptcy, and what each would mean to a person’s credit score.
Well, there is no good news with either situation. You’re going to be hit hard on your FICO score no matter which route you take. The question might be, “where would my credit suffer the least?”
It might be obvious to say that filing for bankruptcy will have the greatest negative impact on a persons credit score. So, the more difficult decision might be whether to ‘walk away’ from your commitment to pay your mortgage or to provide some restitution to your lender(s) and Short Sale your home with the help of a good Realtor® that understands how Short Sales work.
As you will see in THIS ARTICLE, there are many important issues to consider, and certain rules, guidelines and procedures to follow, especially in a Short Sale situation.
I hope THIS ARTICLE helps to answer some of your questions. I know it did for me.
