Hello Lisa! Thank you for getting in touch with us! As a reminder, a short sale can be more beneficial than a foreclosure. Still, due to specific circumstances, you cannot anticipate, we highly recommend contacting a local local real estate agent in your neighborhood! They can prepare you for all scenarios. Secondly, reach out to your lender to obtain a loan modification or a revised payment plan. Plus, the adjournment may apply certain legal restrictions as well. For this reason, seeking an expert real estate attorney would also benefit you!
