I bought a piece of land in Florida as an investment in 2005. It is now upside down and I am having difficulty keeping up with the payments....I am not late as yet. Do you think the banks would consider a short sale on an investment property? Is it better to just walk away? What are my options? What would be the conequences. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi flinvestor!

Welcome to forums!

Rather than walking away from the property, it is a good option to contact the lender and apply for a short sale. This will help you in getting rid of the property and your credit score won't be affected much. It will get lowered by 80-100 points. However, you would be liable for paying off the deficient balance resulting from the sale of the property.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
