The Short on Short Sales; What's Best for You!

This is a sample of one of the flyers we use in our e-mail blasts to our past clients and sphere of influence.  It will usually go out to about 1,180 at each blasts.

We believe that it should be easy to read and simple to understand.

Tim: Great idea with the comparison layout. I'm going to have to modify that for my market.

Tim~ the chart makes the comparisons easier to decipher.  I'm gong to use this for the future.

I've recently found out that bankruptcy is a viable option, too, if you're having trouble paying bills. That's because a bankruptcy generally lets you keep your home as long as it's not a McMansion but it wipes out most of the other debts. So without all the other debt, you can now pay your mortgage. Interestingly, since all you have left is a mortgage payment, everyone rushes to offer you new credit, new credit cards, etc. It's a weird system, and as long as you can explain the bankruptcy, e.g., loss of a job, medical emergency, etc., the bankruptcy, while staying on your credit record for 11 years, isn't the end of life.

Jim,

Thank you for your comments it is a situation I had not thought of.  Most people I am talking to are behind and the banks want that made up.
