Hay BP,My wife and I are renting a mobile home with the option to buy. the problem we have is neither of our credit is that good.

Loan investors have a protocol and procedure to be followed to make sure people really need a short sale and aren't just bailing on an upside down property at the owner of the loan's expense,; to get as close to FMV as possible; analyze whether a foreclosure will net more money;negotiations with junior lien holders; mortgage insurance providers approval; etc, etc.
