There’s tons wrong with this survey of a company’s customers but it reminds me that you should never tap into your retirement account to make mortgage payments on a hopelessly under water house.
And if it’s hopelessly under water, I don’t think it’s in your best interest to draw down any of your savings to make mortgage payments.
Although I don’t represent short sale sellers since it’s such a specialization, a short sale can sometimes be in the best interests of the family.
I worry, however, that as the wave of short sales subsides that banks may start to play hardball with short sale sellers.
