Don't you have to wait and wait and then the bank can tell you that you owe them more money and other costs or fees?” “Aren't short sales a little dangerous for the average person to get involved in.” Most homeowners who engage in short sale transaction are usually at the end of their rope and are facing foreclosure and use a short sale as a means to avoid foreclosure or they must sell their home due to having to move because of a job change or medical reasons. Also there are those who choose a short sale “strategically” to get out from an investment that is no longer desirable. There are government programs available now should a homeowners qualif... 06/21/2011
