What are the advantages of a short sale for the debtor (me)?
The advantages of short selling your property are significant. Selling your home via a short sale is a much better choice versus letting your home “go back to the bank” via a completed foreclosure proceeding. Thus, by short selling a property, you can keep a harmful foreclosure entry off of your personal credit history. Also, the difference between the original mortgage and the short sale offer, also known as the deficiency balance, is negotiable in the short sale settlement process.
