In case you hadn’t heard, there are new (POSITIVE) short sale guidelines from Fannie and Freddie for active duty military that are forced to relocate to a new base. Mortgage payments can be current in this program!

Previously, many service members felt their only option was either to maintain financial obligations on two residences or to default on their mortgage.
