Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act Expires in 2012

Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act Expires in 2012.  Short sales can take 2-8 months.  Most of ours are being completed in 90 days but a rare few are taking 6+ months.  This debit relief act will save you a lot of money and is something to really consider as to why you need to short sale now rather than later in the year.
