it DESTROYS your credit for 2 years, it effects it for 7-10(experian) and it is only marginally better than a foreclosure because it involves MONTHS of missed payments AND a default(settlement)

Yes, indeed.  Why is that?  Because with a short sale you are not meeting your commitments for the debt incurred when you purchased the house.   

A short sale  will remain on your credit report for ~ 7 years, but you may be eligible for another mortgage in two years (if everything else is okay).

It affects it for 2 years and is not as bad as a foreclosure.

It is my understanding that they do.  Although, not nearly as much as a foreclosure.  You should contact your lender. 


Good Luck!
