Reno Short Sales: Deed-In-Lieu of Foreclosure or Short Sale?
Reno NV – A deed-in-lieu is the equivalent to a “No Contest” plea in a criminal trial. You just give up on the foreclosure. If there is a foreclosure court case, the judge will still have to schedule a foreclosure sale. Contrary to popular opinion, a deed-in-lieu does not automatically release you from the debt. This means that your lender could be pursuing you five years later, after you get back on your feet. There is an application process. You will have to spend between 5 and 10 hours submitting paperwork to your lender before they will approve the deed-in-lieu. Yes, I think it’s crazy! Why should you have to submit paperwork to make it easier for your lender to foreclose on your house? Doesn’t make any sense. That is why I recommend a short sale instead of a deed-in-lieu. You get to avoid the humiliation of a foreclosure. In addition, most short sales allow you to stay in the home rent free for 3-6 months. And you can get up to $3,000 from HAFA. That will help cover the cost to move and maybe even cover the deposit on a rental property. The other advantage with a short sale is that you will be able to buy another home sooner. Because a deed-in-lieu acts as a foreclosure, you will not be eligible for a new mortgage for 5-7 years. With a short sale, you can be eligible to buy another house in 2 years.
