Have't paid mortgage in 2 months, selling @ short sell, can they go after bank accounts and wages?

Hi lynchjames,

In case of a short sale, the lender has the right to sue you for the deficient amount resulting from the sale of the property. If you are unable to pay the deficient amount, then the lender may garnish your wages or can even place liens on your other properties.

Thanks

garnishment and the taking of your assets is an unlikely scenario. lenders across the nation are dealing with short sales, of course; but it's going to take a rare bird of a lender to go so far as to attempt to collect after the fact. they have more pressing issues than going after "the little guy" who can't pay his mortgage in full in this decreasing-value economy.

i wouldn't be worried, frankly.

Talk to your lender to see if they accept the short-sale offer amt and forgive the difference. In most cases, they agree if you have a reliable offer and is comparable to current market.
