Relocated , Buy house before short sale?
My husband has been relocated with his company from California to Oregon. We've had our house up for sale for almost 3 months now reducing the price gradually from 269k to 229k w/out any calls. I've had different options thrown out at me. Some say buy a house in Oregon, before negotiating a short sale or deed in lieu, but I want to know what the repercussions would be on the new home in Oregon- would we get a lien on our house, or would we have to pay back a certain amount and how much?
Or would it be suggested that we rent in Oregon and risk not being able to buy a home for a long while due to the settlement or foreclosure?
I'm confused because I'm getting advice that I'm not sure is in the best interest for me and my family. Please advise. Thank you
