Up until recently, banks have not been very supportive of giving home owners the option of a short sale because they are a complicated way to deal with a delinquent mortgage. However, with the rising wave of possible foreclosures on the horizon, some lenders are becoming more accepting of short sales as an option.
A short sale can be less costly to a lender than a foreclosure and a short sale is reportedly less damaging to a home owner’s credit score as well. Short sales are less costly to the lender because occupied homes sell for more and are less likely to sustain damage from vandalism.
A short sale lets a home owner sell their home for less than is owed on the property; because of current reduced values on real estate most homes are not worth what home owners paid for them originally. Lenders don’t like short sales because of the shortfall in selling price compared to what’s owed; though many more lenders are opening up to short sales as a less costly option than foreclosures. Home owners should be aware that a short sale for their home may leave them with a portion of the debt even after their house has been sold, however.
Short sales can be extremely difficult to complete due to the prolific use of second mortgages over the housing boom years. Many home owners financed expensive upgrades to their homes based on the equity that they had which now are lacking due to falling home prices. These second mortgages can make the short sale process very complicated. About a third of the homes in foreclosure across the country currently have a second mortgage on them.
The government will be offering incentives for both owners and lenders to do short sales for homeowners who would otherwise be facing foreclosures starting in April of this year. It is important to realise, however, that what is best for some home owners will not be the best option for every home owner who is delinquent with their mortgage payments; some home owners would be far better off financially to walk away from their mortgage than to go through the process of a short sale. Many home owners choose a method of dealing with these delinquent loans that is in the best interest of the lender due to pressure and guilt; to know what your best option is, contact a lawyer to ensure that you aren’t being pressured by your lender into an option that isn’t in your best interest.

Help answer the question about home owner
Can you change home owner's insurance and is it difficult?I already enrolled in a home owner's insurance but am getting dogs that this insurance does not allow, they are going to be puppies but once they are grown I will have to change insurance .Is it a big hassle?
this is the change that you all voted for
Absolutely. The foundation will have to be designed for the neccessary loads ( this may mean deeper, wider footings, additional reinforcement, larger beams and/or larger floor trusses) but the crawlspace foundation can be used for multi-story projects no problem. Its important to remember that with any foundation, the weight of the structure should bear directly on or be transferred to the footings-whether crawlspace or slab.
Thanks.
