Short sales are usually used as an alternative to foreclosure and any liens the sale falls short of paying are released. However, the short sale agreement may not necessarily relieve the obligation of the borrower from repaying the debt.

If i short sale a house how long do i have to wait to purchase a dwelling?

If you short sale a house you don't have to wait any specific amount of time to purchase a dwelling.
