When considering a short sale…
I realize when heading down the pre-foreclosure road you have many things to think about. There is a lot even when is comes down to short sales. In my mind, when considering any preforeclosure method, especially a short sale, you have to look at two main categories. The first main ramification when looking at short sales is the legal side. The second short sale ramification are tax issues.
Short Sale Legal Ramifications to Consider:
- Promissory Note
- Banks Legally Pursuing You
- Anti Deficiency laws
Short Sale Tax Ramifications to Consider:
- 1099C
- Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007
Consider all these things while raking a short sale or any pre-foreclosure route. Any seasoned short sale negotiator will have solutions, answers, and paths for knowledge for all these hurdles.
Thanks for reading!

I seriously hope the SEC can stop naked shorting without messing up the market. It is obvious that naked shorting isnt responsible for the state of the financial sector. But a lot of companies across the board are being destroyed by naked shorting. The SEC never seemed to care about it before, and they surely know that they can’t help the banks. So one has to wonder what compels them to act now. I guess they all made enough money?
