If you find yourself in financial trouble and are unable to make your mortgage payments, you might be asking "are there any advantages to doing a short sale?".
If you are going to lose your home you are better off selling it via a short sale than losing it in a foreclosure sale because you may be able to reduce the negative credit impact, you can control the outcome and timing of your move and you can avoid the stigma of a foreclosure. Often you are able to get the bank to forgive the balance of the loan, whereas in a foreclosure you may be liable for any shortage.
