From what I understand, the "tax relief for deadbeats act" ends in less than 60 days, so hopefully that will relegate the short-sale to the history books where they belong.

In the complaint, Sykes listed eleven separate claims for relief, six under the Oregon Fair Housing Law and five under the federal, all based on Chris Gordon’s letter to Keel and Jim Gordon’s statements to FHCO testers described above.

I can't use the Mortgage Debt Relief since it's not my primary residence.

which was a huge relief.

So if you can keep your facets open or meter out to allow pressure to escape, or they make a high pressure relief washer for facets for this reason, throw some heat tape and insulation back in the box and you should be alright.

They also believe my house is well below market value so hopefully a sale will come soon so I can move on and my pregnant wife can breathe a sigh of relief hahaI do dream of getting into real estate one day and hopefully this house will be my hardest learning curve but other than the final result (which happens to be the most important) I do believe I followed the rules well of structure first, kitchen 2nd, bathrooms and landscape 3rd all while keeping materials relative to comps.

Buying a loan and having a borrower inquire about relief creates a situation where alternatives to foreclosure are likely mandated by state and some federal law.

In the event of a future hardship, while you still have some interest in the Subject Property, you may be the first person the borrower turns to for relief.

She had this crazy idea that if it went to tax sale, somehow the lien would be wiped out and she'd be free and wouldn't get a 1099 for the debt relief.

Might give you a little relief short term, move you towards your goal quicker, and introduce you to some of the dealing with tenants but it is not for everyone.In any case I would write the plan down.
