Short Sale Questions

Update: We originally posted this article on September 30, 2008 but we’re getting so many questions we decided to kick back to the top for our readers.

As it seems the bailout in some form or another is imminent, one thing is for certain. Banks are going to be more motivated than ever to mitigate their losses and to dump as many non-performing assets off of their books as possible.
