Avoid the foreclosure stigma - Homeowners will always have to disclose that they had a foreclosure on any mortgage application and (many job applications) that they submit in the future. This can have an adverse affect on their suture mortgage rates. Foreclosure is asked about specifically in credit inquires. There is no seven-year time limit on this item.
Protect credit score - Credit scores will be lowered by 33 plus points (per loan) by foreclosure. The impact of a short sale - about half that amount.
Improve eligibility for a government insured loan - The homeowner will be ineligible for a government insured loan for 5-7 years (only two years in a short sale). A foreclosure is the one credit report item that is almost impossible to have repaired.
Avoid a deficiency judgement - Lenders can seek a deficiency judgement against the homeowner and collect any amount they do not recover at sale.
Protect employment prospects - Many employers run credit checks on prospective employees. Foreclosure is one of the top items that will put a potential new hire, or even current employment, in jeopardy.
These are the top reasons, but there are more. Louise Donahue & John Noble are short sale specialists that wilgive you a full picture of the options, and allow you to move on with your life and recover.
