: Banks are in the money business and not the real estate business. They would prefer to have a performing asset (you paying your mortgage) than a foreclosed home on there books. A bank’s lending limit is determined by the ratio of good vs. bad loans they have on the books. So that is why they will sometimes settle for a loss on a short sale.
If there was a simple way to access equity without incurring additional payments in order to avoid foreclosure, would that be a big deal?
