Have you heard the recent news reports that unemployment rates are down? Keep in mind that those numbers do not include those who are unemployed and are no longer able to collect unemployment benefits because they’ve been out of work for too long. Unemployment benefits do not last forever, and that is why so many families are facing foreclosure.
It makes me sad to think of think of the families that are losing their homes. In our country, there are several homes that are available on short sale. The news reports on short sales in Las Vegas regularly. A short sale is a term used to describe the sale of property for less than the amount owed on the mortgage. The lender will then negotiate with the seller to forgive the balance of the mortgage. For a seller, choosing this option may be one way to avoid foreclosure proceedings.
If you are one of the many Las Vegas homeowners considering a short sale of your property, be sure to retain a bankruptcy attorney in Las Vegas. You’ll want someone on your side to protect your interests and to explain the potential credit implications to you.
