The lender will look at all of your assets to determine how to approach a short sale. If you have other assets of value (real estate, cash, stocks) they will expect you to use some of these assets to reduce/eliminate the shortage in a short sale. If you are too rich, they will not allow the short sale and will get a judgement against you for the shortage if it goes to foreclosure.

This question and many questions about short sales and foreclosures are best answered by your attorney, as it is legal advice you seek.



How does short sale affect other assetts that an investor might have?
