Do I qualify for a short sale?
The qualifications for a short sale include any or all of the following:
  1. Financial Hardship - There is a situation, often out of your control, causing you to have trouble affording your mortgage.
  2. Monthly Income Shortfall - A lender will want to see that you cannot afford, or soon will not be able to afford your mortgage.
  3. Insolvency - The lender will want to see that you do not have significant liquid assets that would allow you to pay down your mortgage.
