For my blog today I wanted to speak with you about an interesting topic that many :k1: homeowners ask about when considering a short sale. It is some what of a controversial topic but homeowners often ask me if they need to be late on their mortgage payments in order to complete a short sale. The short answer to this question is no but for most :k1: homeowners you will need to be behind on your mortgage to get approved for a short sale. While there are some ways to get a short sale done and stay current most lenders require the mortgage to be delinquent in order to allow a short sale to take place. The short sale guidelines put in place by most banks require a valid reason, or hardship, to complete a short sale which is why staying current through your short sale and getting an approval may be a challenge.
