Should I Short Sale or Let My House Foreclose?
A difficult question asked by a growing numbers of homeowners in this economy.
Financial hardship can happen unexpectedly. Even responsible homeowners may face periods of financial pressure due to job loss, medical expenses, business challenges, divorce, rising costs, or changing market conditions.
The important thing to remember is that mortgage hardship does not automatically mean foreclosure is unavoidable.
Many California homeowners have more options available than they initially realize.

Homeowners who seek information early often have:
