From what I understand the bank has to agree to the short sale and then takes that as the mortgage paid.

Do you still have to pay back your mortgage if your house for sale?
Of course. Until you pay off the mortgage loan, you have to pay payments on the home.
What if you pay your first mortgage but not your home equity?
If you have a first mortgage and a home equity mortgage, the home equity mortgage is a second mortgage. If the home equity mortgage is not paid, the lender can foreclose and take possession of the property subject to the first mortgage. The home equity lender can pay off the first mortgage and keep any excess proceeds from a sale.
Can a real estate broker refuse to pay an agent's commission?
A short sale is a process by which a homeowner who cannot keep up with mortgage payments may avoid a foreclosure. In a short sale, the homeowner allows his lender to market and sell the home.
Short sale tax liability?
Much of whether there is tax liability of a short sale depends on whether the home was a primary residence or not. In most circumstances you will not pay taxes on a short sale if it was your primary residence. This is because of a law that went into effect called the Mortgage Debt Relief Act. If the property was an investment and not a primary residence you may have to pay taxes.
What to do when you get a notice of default?
First, pay the past due total on the notice, and get to your mortgage company without delay. Then call your mortgage servicer and get on a repayment plan, request a modification, or explore a short sale if you cannot afford your home.
Will it affect my credit if I short-sale a house that I own but do not have my name on the mortgage?
To conduct a short-sale transaction, the bank(s) holding the mortgage(s) have to agree to a short-sale. If your name is not on the Mortgage, technically you don't have a right to conduct a short sale. Even if you "own" the house (which will be in question during the entire process), the holders of the Mortgage note(s), typically banks or finance companies, actually have primary ownership of the asset (the house). If you are able to complete a short-sale, even though you are not on the mortgage note, as an owner the bank holding the note may ask you to take partial responsibility for the difference between sale price and mortgage value, or even to put in equity immediately to avoid a short sale situation. If this occurs, and you cannot pay, you will end up with a debt and a schedule to pay that debt. Adding any debt will negatively affect your credit score.
On a Short Sale are you still responsible to pay the remainder of a home loan and if so is there any way around it?
If you had Mortgage Insurance on it, there is a chance that they may make up the short fall. You will have to check your policy to see if it is included.
Do you have to pay off your home loan before you sell your home?
The mortgage must be paid off at the closing from the proceeds of the sale.
Can you sell your paid for home if the loans you co-signed for are not paid the loans are being deferred and your home was the collateral?
Your home is not paid for if it was used as collateral for loans. A loan that has real property as collateral is called a mortgage and a mortgage is a lien against your property. You cannot sell your home until the mortgages have been paid off or in the case of a sale arrangements are made to pay the loans from the proceeds of a sale.Your home is not paid for if it was used as collateral for loans.

How can you sell your house in a short sale and still file bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy is simply having debt beyond what you can pay. A short sale would have nothing to do with it. When you sell short, you leave the deal with nothing. No profit, no cash from the sale. Also, a lender would not even approve the short sale unless they are satisfied that you are 'upside down' each month and have no savings or other assets with which to pay the mortgage.
Will I have to pay the shortfall of my mortgage after a short sale?
In one way or another you will be responsible for and money in a short sale of your home. If you do not have the cash at the sale closing, I doubt you will be able to provide a clean title insurance policy. Without that, you will not be able to sell your home. If this is a different type of sale, other than a conventional mortage by the purchasers, the bank will come after you for any and all short sale. I know this is not good news... but the bank will want it's money... Sotty Addition by Soxos, They have 12 years in England to get the debt from you, and 5 years in Scotland.
