Short Sale as an OPTION- Short Sale is NOT about being upside down and wanting out.

Many people think short sales can be used as an alternative for homeowners who find themselves in trouble with their mortgage payments, but it is ONLY AN OPTION for sellers who are either in a foreclosure already, or are headed toward one. It is important to understand it is NOT about being upside down with your mortgage and facing hardships- it is about the homeowners who ARE in trouble.
