Thank you -

I live in FL. I must stop all payments due to medical plus loss of income.

Does a short sale protect you from forclosure - if you stop paying your montlhy mortgage?

Does the option of a short sale apply to vacant land?

What is the short sale credit benefit vs DIL in this scenerio.

I have communicated my hardship to the Bank -- What would you do?

Unfortunatley a shortsale does not stop the bank from seizing the property. A short sale is worked out between you and the bank to sell the property for less than is owed. Some shortsales cover what is owed, some a little less, but the point of the short sale is to recoup the loan and unload the property as quickly as possible. But there are stipulations to the short sale and you should be aware of them immediately.

The following comes from wikipedia and is pretty explainatory: ( I hope it helps answer your questions.
