San Diego Short Sale Process
What to do if you are behind on your mortgage on your San Diego Home
If you are behind in your payments on you San Diego home, there are some good and bad ideas on how to fix the problem. Here are some thoughts on both.
POSSIBLE GOOD IDEAS
-Borrow from mom and dad
-Rent out rooms
-Talk to San Diego Short Sale Specialist Gary Kent at 858-457-5368
POSSIBLE BAD IDEAS
-Borrow from mom and dad! (family dynamics can be “complicated”)
-Borrow from your 401K – This is bad on several levels. If you end up losing your home, you will still owe the money to your 401K and while you won’t send someone out to break your own legs, the IRS may penalize you for not paying it back.
-Just move out and mail the bank your keys. This is also bad on several levels. The ” Jingle Mail” concept sounds good in Country Songs but in practice, the bank is not responsible for taking over your property until they complete the foreclosure process. In the meantime, if the property gets run down the city may go after you. Also, if there is an injury on the property, you may still be liable. And the list goes on.
