FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• If a HAFA short sale doesn’t work, you may be able to give the title back to your mortgage company in a HAFA deed-in-lieu of foreclosure (DIL).
• Once you complete a HAFA short sale or DIL, there is a waiver of deficiency, meaning you are released from any remaining mortgage debt.
• HAFA offers $10,000 in relocation assistance for you or your tenant.
• In some cases, HAFA has a less negative effect on your credit score than a foreclosure, which allows for a faster financial recovery.
