WOW!
Well, we knew it would happen and it finally has.
New guidelines about short sales that now makes doing a short sale VASTLY better
for the homeowner vs a foreclosure.
Bottom line: If the homeowner sells the home via a shortsale they can’t get a FHA backed mortgage for 2 years.
VS.
Foreclosure: The home owner can’t secure a FHA backed mortgage for 5 years.

Thank you for another reason that will encourage owners to short sale their property instead of just “letting it go”. Good information.
