Short Sale: A Viable Debt Relief Solution
When a homeowner is struggling to stay current with payments, a short sale may be an effective way of walking away from debt. A short sale is when a homeowner sells their home to a third-party for a price that is less than the loan's outstanding balance. Although this debt relief solution involves losing your home, short sale can be an effective way of obtaining debt relief.
Short sales, however, can also lead to tax debt repercussions. At Atlas Consumer Law, our legal team can help you pursue the debt relief avenue that is best for your specific situation. We will listen carefully to your needs and take your goals into consideration.
- We may recommend other alternatives to short selling, such as:
- Foreclosure defense
- Bankruptcy
Illinois Short Sale FAQs
-
Why should I choose a short sale?
- If you are undergoingn extreme hardship through an underwater mortgage, a short sale may be a good way to obtain some relief from mortgage debt quickly.
-
Should I choose foreclosure instead of a short sale?
- Foreclosures involve a longer process than short sales, and as the homeowner you are still required to maintain the property. With a short sale, you are no longer responsible for the property and it will no longer be under your name.
-
Does a short sale impact my credit?
- Your credit score will likely take a hit, but it is difficult to say how much your credit score will fall.
