A short sale occurs when a lien holder for the property agrees to a reduction in the property lien or loan to progress a real estate sale. A potential buyer of this property has the opportunity to purchase the property at a reduced sum. A short sale of a property is an alternative to allowing a homeowners property to be foreclosed.

How Does a Short Sale Work?

If you have gone through foreclosure with your properties, how did it affect your lives and where, did the lender go after your assets, were you able to get a loan or credit cards? Did you regret what you did? I read a lot of advices to avoid foreclosre but would like hear from someone that had went through this hardship.
