Two conditions must exist for the lender to consider a Short Sale:

1. There must be little or no equity in the property.

2. Homeowner must prove a legitimate hardship.

• The Short Sale offer is equal to or less than what a lender can expect to lose by foreclosing and selling the property (especially in a market where prices are depreciating).

• We will negotiate for a ‘full satisfaction’ of lien versus a ‘release’ of lien.

• Deficiency Judgment (continued) NOTE: In the state of Florida, certain assets are protected from a deficiency judgment. These include your homestead (primary residence), life insurance policies and annuity contracts, pension and profit sharing plans, IRAs, disability income and prepaid college plans. (see your local attorney for details, do your own research)

• One of the things we ask for when negotiating a Short Sale is a full ‘Satisfaction of Lien’ or that the lender waive its right to pursue a deficiency

• Bank will most likely issue 1099 for amount of debt forgiven.

Example: Mortgage balance: $450,000 Approved Short Sale payoff: $300,000

Shortage/Deficiency: <$150,000>

In this example, the bank may send the seller a 1099C showing $150,000 as income. Debt relief = income to seller.

However…..

• In 2007, Congress passed the “Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007” which eliminates taxation on debt forgiveness on owner-occupied homes. Applies to debt forgiven between 2007 and 2012.

So in the above example, if the bank sends you a 1099 for $150,000, you would not have to pay income tax on it if the property was your primary residence. (see your accountant for details, do

your own research)
