- The right way to educate & the wrong way to educate about it.
- Spreads Fear and Lowers CCI. (Consumer Confidence Index)

- How Long Does it Take to Foreclose in Texas?
* In most cases involving a home loan, federal regulations state the foreclosure action cannot begin until the loan is over 120 days delinquent.

WHY FORECLOSURE IS A BAD IDEA
* Credit History
* Ability to Purchase Again
* Creates Additional Hurdles and Waiting Periods
* Most Of All - LOSE OF EQUITY
SHORT SALES IS BETTER THAN FORECLOSURE …
“only if they are upside down on their LTV” MJ
- But is it?
* Definition :
* Both short sales and foreclosures can get homeowners out of paying for their mortgages. Short sales are voluntary actions by the homeowner; they require approval from the lender. Foreclosures are involuntary for the homeowner; the lender takes legal action to take control of and sell the property.
* Financial Impact :
* In the end, short sales are almost always damaging to your credit, but they do less harm than foreclosures or bankruptcies. A short sale might block you from a mortgage on a new home for two years or so, but a foreclosure or bankruptcy could keep you out of the market for as long as seven to 10 years.May 9, 2022
Texas Doesn’t Have Many Short Sales :
* Situation of Potential Short Sale
* VA Loan due to Funding Fees
* USDA Loan 100% Financing
* Bond Loans with Silent 2nd
