Michigan is number 6 in the country on the RealtyTracs foreclosure list. General Motors announced more layoffs this week. If I had a magic wand, I would waive it all over our great state. Consulting with distressed Ann Arbor home sellers is not pretty. But I have come to realize that going to foreclosure is a choice.
Doing a short sale is possibly a better choice. Not all sellers are qualified to short their lenders. What makes some sellers qualified to not pay back the lender? You have to have a hardship that shows that you truly are not able to make the payments. Some examples of financial hardships are:
1. Payment increase or mortgage adjustment
2. Job loss
3. Business failure
4. Damage to property
5. Death of a spouse
6. Death of family members
7. Severe illness
8. Inheritance
9. Divorce
10. Separation
11. Relocation
12. Military service
13. Insurance or tax increase
14. Reduced income
15. Too much debt
16. Incarceration
