Foreclosure
Can you afford it? If you are behind on your payments, you and your lawyer will discuss whether you should keep your home. Even if you are current on your house, you should still have this discussion. There are many people who owe more on their homes right now than they are worth. This is your opportunity to decide which past financial decisions are ones you should stick with. It is also your chance to walk away from the bad deals and just keep the good ones.

Short Sales
These days we hear a lot about short sales. They occur when the mortgage amount is greater than the current value of the property. To accomplish a short sale, the lender must agree to permit the sale at an amount less than the outstanding mortgage amount. So, it’s “short.” Say you owe $200,000 on a piece of property that will only sell for $80,000 in today’s market.
