1) After a short sale, if you were current on your mortgage payment; you may qualify immediately for a new home loan. After a foreclosure, the time period to buy another home is from 5 to 7 years.
2) Short sales are sometimes not reported to the credit bureaus, but foreclosures are always reported.
3) Normally, a lender will not file a deficiency judgment after a short sale, but one is always filed after a foreclosure. The foreclosed home owner can be liable for thousands of dollars until the judgment is paid to the lender.
4) New loan applications require disclosure of a previous foreclosed home. The application does not inquire about previous homes involving short
sales.
5. Your lender may pay you to relocate.
6. The lender may pay any unpaid taxes to the State, Federal Government, or County Governments if there are liens on property.
