A short sale is potentially better for your credit score in the long run as opposed to a foreclosure. A short sale certain will allow you to qualify for a loan again in 2 to 3 years compared to 5 to 7 years for a foreclosure.
A short sale is potentially a win-win for you and the bank. Let's face it, the bank loaned you the money in good faith to pay it back - they don't want your house. In most cases, it will cost a bank more money to foreclose than it will for them to agree to a short sale.
A short sale allows you to start fresh without the current financial burden.
A short sale looks much better to an employer who checks your credit than a foreclosure looks. As a matter of fact, if you are required to get a security clearance to perform your job duties, a foreclosure may be reason for dismissal or may prevent you from getting the job in the first place.
