According to Denver short sale experts, the Federal Housing Financing Agency has recently announced some changes in short sales that involve active duty military personnel. The Federal Housing Financing Agency has decided that if you are active duty in the military and receive orders for a permanent change of station (PCS), meaning that you are required by the government to move to a new location, this qualifies as a hardship and makes you eligible to short sale your home. Even if you are current on your mortgage, you are still eligible.

The Federal Housing Financing Agency has quite a bit of control over Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, who in the past may not have been the most cooperative in approving short sales for active duty military personnel. Obviously, this is now going to be different. Not only do Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have to approve the short sale, they also have to waive all deficiency rights and relieve you of all debt associated with the mortgage.
