Hello everyone,
We have an apartment for investment and because the renter does not pay on time, we are in a situation where we can not pay the mortgage, association fees, etc.
What is the procedure to start a Short Sale?
Please advise!

Hi jsnunez,
You need to contact your lender and apply for a short sale. The lender will accept your short sale if you're delinquent on your mortgage payments for 2-3 months. Let me tell you that a short sale will reduce your credit score by 75-100 points and it would remain on your credit report for the next 7 years like any other negative item.
Thanks

What other options do you suggest? We were able to pay our mortgage until now, but from now on we will have to find other solution

Hi jsnunez!
Welcome back to forums!
Apart from short sale, you can even apply for a deed in lieu of foreclosure with your lender. If the lender accepts your request, then you can get rid of the property and you won't be liable for paying the deficient balance which results after the property sale. However, it would have a severe negative impact on your credit report and would lower your credit score by 250 points.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
