Avoiding a foreclosure on your credit is something you should try to avoid, sometimes
it is unavoidable. When your loan modification does not work in your favor, you really have a few options left, deed-in lieu, Foreclosure, or Short Sale.
Isn't really at this point is to try and salvage your credit? Short Sale is less damaging on a persons credit then a Foreclosure. The turn around time period in buying a home after a short sale is less of a time period then a Foreclosure would be.
Doing a Short Sale there is a possibility that the lender may forgive the debt and waive a deficiency judgement, of course this would be up to the lender to approve this.
Avoiding a Foreclosure and salvaging your credit is something you want to consider when
your options for keeping your home and the modification did not work. Have an exit strategy.
