The jr lien (second or third loan) will often do this when there is no equity and will often write off (charge off as bad debt). In most cases it willl be sold for pennies to an outside collection agency and they do not play nicely. They will need to agree to the short sale and that makes them very difficult to deal with. They really do not care about the home going to foreclosure or not. That is why we advise our clients to stay current on the second or third loans and HOA's. If you can it can mean the difference between a short sale and a foreclosure. It’s common for jr lien holder to charge off the balance of their loan.

You will receive 1099C (Cancelation of Debt) for Short Sale and 1099A for foreclosure. In some cases the bank will go after the borrower for the difference and in this case there will be no 1099C. The state legislature is working on a forgiveness of debt bill for homeowners, so far the Governor vetoed the last bill and might not approve the one currently on being worked on. You should always consult a tax professional when facing possible foreclosure, loan modification or short sale. Yes, you will receive a 1099 if there has been any debt left unpaid or forgiven.

I just started to do short sales and I find that the second lien holders are not easy to work with. I have to try emergency stay of foreclosure for my clients who have been dragged for months by second lien holders. I guess I failed to asked the questions posted in the blog before I started. I close difficult files sometimes because I o some research. HAFA I hope will help us close more short sales than the traditional but I don't believe the new road will be easy. Yvonne Excellent blog.
